So, if criticism is the moment of weakness in things, the political membership seems not to tolerate or want to know or know, much less admit, its own web of fragility, and also the unanimous denial of political paternity or patronage in favor of this Senator Kueider fallen into disgrace for attempting to cross the Paraguayan border again.
It is urgent to recreate a political culture in the face of the glut of voices, words and political figures that inadvertently breathe its essential fracture, its suspected origin and the decline of its caste. A rampant and rampant caste outside the law, ethics, sobriety and social responsibility to the point of denying itself to please and pay tribute by action or omission to the first national magistrate Javier Milei throughout his first year in office.
just over four decades after the recovery of democracy, as citizens we are peremptorily obliged to demand the healthy regeneration of all political, legislative and judicial membership to, make transparent, defend, consolidate, ensure and embody real freedoms and constitutional guarantees.
And thus, definitively get rid of such a cruel oxymoron, such as feeling like strangers in our own home of the Argentine Nation.

**How has the political situation in Argentina affected the perception of democracy and autocracy among citizens?**
Ck-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity”/>
Despite the ongoing challenges, productive investments from abroad have yet to gain traction in Argentina.Most projects remain stuck in the early stages of study and approval back at their origin countries.
The prevailing sentiment abroad seems to lean more towards curiosity rather than trust, particularly considering the “emerging Milei phenomenon.” This is reflected in the lack of meaningful disbursements that could indicate a genuine commitment to improving Argentina’s future—one marked by increased employment and reduced recession, alongside enhanced legal security and minimized arbitrary decisions.
This situation is exacerbated by fiscal challenges, where citizens are left bewildered due to an unheard-of scenario: the second consecutive extension of the so-called “law of laws” or budget, a advancement not witnessed in over thirty years of the Financial Management law’s existence.
As a consequence, this financially dysfunctional political and judicial environment has deposited the majority of Argentines into a state of dismay, exposing them to authoritarian tendencies.
The warnings of Judge Maqueda, of the Court
These developments seem to support the concerns raised by outgoing Supreme Court Justice Juan Carlos Maqueda, who recently remarked about “dark clouds on the democratic institutional horizon.” Maqueda noted that the distinction between democracy and autocracy appears increasingly blurred when the focus on outcomes overshadows the importance of the methods employed to achieve them.
Indeed, with the recent arrest of Argentine legislator Edgardo Kueider in Paraguay, we bear witness to the pervasive corruption that has infiltrated various levels of governance and public power. This troubling reality aligns with the alarming observations made by Maqueda regarding the state of our institutions.
Criticism, however, seems to be met with resistance, as political figures appear unwilling to confront their vulnerabilities. In a disheartening display, there has been a worldwide denial of any political duty for Senator Kueider’s downfall, particularly as he attempted to evade the law by crossing into Paraguay once more.
It is indeed essential to recreate a political culture that can withstand the cacophony of voices, sentiments, and figures fostering its inherent fragmentation and decline. This need is underscored by the ongoing erosion of lawfulness, ethics, and social responsibility, which the current political caste continues to prioritize over genuine accountability, all while seeking to appease President Javier Milei’s administration during his inaugural year.
As we commemorate the passing of over four decades since the restoration of democracy in Argentina, it is imperative that citizens collectively demand a thorough revitalization of the political, legislative, and judicial landscapes. This charge is necessary to establish clarity, uphold freedoms, and safeguard constitutional guarantees—in a bid to liberate ourselves from the harsh irony of feeling like outsiders within our own nation.
