Corruption has become a major problem for Argentines: why is concern growing and what role does Karina Miley play?

the – Viewing corruption as the main national problem This issue has become fixed in 2025. According to recent studies, this issue has topped the citizens’ agenda for eight consecutive months, which is unusual in a country whose main concerns have historically been inflation and insecurity.

In this context, the political analyst said: Raoul Timmerman I participated in the program Welcome to the Train, on Bravo TV, He analyzed the change in social priorities. There he noted that the phenomenon emerged after the “Libra affair” in February, an incident that marked a lapse in public sensitivity to potential wrongdoing in the administration. He explained: “For eight months, the main problem in Argentina was corruption. This has never happened for so many months in a row.”

Opinion studies indicate that this transformation is not limited to A Political space. In the Peronist electorate, corruption is once again top of the list among concerns, but it also appears among Advanced Liberty voters and Juntos por el Cambio. Surveys reflect that anxiety extends across socioeconomic levels and generations, and that it is deepened in a context of growing poverty and distrust of the ruling class.

In the case of liberals, Kirchnerism, Christina, and Peronism dominated. Patricia Bullrich’s voters mentioned “politicians”, “Kirchnerism” and “Christina”.

What is surprising, according to Timmerman, is the continued presence of… Karina Miley In all three sectors, even in the formal sector. “Kareena is the person in this government who has the worst image,” he said. His personality, whose increasing centrality within the power structure, forms part of the ongoing debate over who makes decisions in the national administration. In fact, surveys have already begun to assess the perception of who really rules: Javier Miley or his sister, the Secretary General of the Presidency.

There is another axis of the survey that looks at the sectors that are considered the most involved Corrupt practices. “Presidents and their accompanying delegation” top the list, with a percentage of more than 40%, followed by “officials,” “legislators,” and then “unionists and businessmen.” These statements are part of a broader crisis of legitimacy, as rejection of political leadership reaches historic levels.

For Timmerman, the continuation of the theme in Public opinion She foresees a scenario in which transparency, administrative oversight, and institutional responsibility are central to the election year debate. Corruption – traditionally an intermittent issue – has now become a structural and episodic concern in Argentine society.
