“I hereby express my unshakable decision not to exercise the right to privileged retirement conferred by the lifelong monthly benefits regime provided for in article one of Law No. 24,018”, says a letter from Milei sent to the presidency of Anses, who responded in a affirmative, according to the Clarín newspaper.
Milei, who pointed out in the statement that he will submit to the general social security regime, had already said on Wednesday (5) that he would give up the benefit.

In the letter to Anses, Milei wrote that “the events that occurred yesterday at the Honorable Congress of the Nation” show that “our political class is more concerned with maintaining its delusional privileges than with working to reverse the model that failed in the last century”.
The president claimed that, “after [a Argentina] having experienced for decades the disastrous consequences of unrestrained public spending”, it is “imperative that political leaders set an example and adopt concrete measures to contain the budget deficit”.
