Mayra Mendoza, a Buenos Aires legislator, has accused Diego Santilli, the Minister of the Interior, of lying about labor reform after he defended the government's stance and blamed kirchnerismo for the lack of formal job creation in recent years. This heated exchange was prompted by a radio interview in which Santilli asserted that no net jobs were created during previous administrations, which he presented as evidence against the narrative that current difficulties in the labor market are solely the result of the current government's policies.

The debate escalated as it continued on social media and later on LN+, where Santilli appeared alongside journalist Luis Majul to reiterate his points. Santilli emphasized the phrase 'data kills narrative' while attributing the detrimental state of the job market not just to the current administration but to historical practices by kirchnerismo, framing the current reforms as necessary corrections to past mismanagement.

This confrontation highlights the ongoing tensions in Argentine politics, especially regarding economic issues and labor reforms. With a polarized political landscape, such exchanges reveal the challenges faced by leaders in navigating public discourse, particularly when contentious reforms are implemented against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and historical grievances.
