President Javier Milei’s government has expanded the budget of SIDE intelligence services by 7.366 billion pesos. Of the new funds, almost a quarter – 1.625 billion pesos – has been earmarked for discretionary “reserved” expenditure by the organisation, which depends directly on President Javier Milei. Since taking office in December 2023, Milei has slashed state spending across the board, though intelligence has suffered less than other sectors of the government.
