A recent survey from the consulting firm Casa3 shows that social discontent in Argentina, measured by the Social Irritability Index (IDI), has hit its lowest point since Javier Milei took office. Despite some legislative victories, such as passing labor reforms, this decrease in public mood suggests rising tensions among the populace. In February, the index recorded a negative score of 14, marking the third consecutive month of negative trend and a significant drop from January’s figures.

The IDI highlights a gradual decline in public sentiment, which has raised alarms about the current government's stability. The figures have dropped notably below the previous lows recorded in 2024 and 2025, implying that the issue is more deep-seated than just a temporary setback. With a fall of six points from January alone, the broader trends may reflect accumulated frustrations related to various socio-economic policies and their impacts on everyday life in Argentina.

As the administration navigates these challenges, understanding the roots of this growing resentment may be critical for President Milei's ability to govern effectively. The worsening social climate could threaten legislative ambitions moving forward and may catalyze more significant unrest if left unaddressed. The survey's exclusive publication by the digital magazine Seúl adds an extra layer of significance to these findings, as it becomes a focal point for discussions about government performance and public sentiment in Argentina.
