"The audit is nonexistent": The National Government acknowledged that it never audited the cafeterias it left without assistance due to alleged irregularities.
TheNational Government has added a new scandal amid its internal crisis and now revealed that audits of soup kitchens were never carried out under the pretext of finding "ghost soup kitchens." On May 16, 2024, National Deputy Natalia Zaracho asked the Ministry of Human Capital , headed by Sandra Pettovello , for reports on the status of the audits, after the minister and the then Chief of Staff, Nicolás Posse , assured that half of the soup kitchens did not exist.
Through his X account, social leader Juan Grabois supported the deputy and denounced: "Deputy Natalia Zaracho judicialized a request for information to learn about the audits that 'supported' the decision to cut off food supplies to the soup kitchens, which were the target of a brutal attack by a National Government that classifies them as 'ghost soup kitchens'."

" For over a year, they refused to respond, until the courts forced them to talk. Now they've responded that the audits never happened ," he added. Grabois also asserted that the government's goal " was always to steal food from the soup kitchens and take food away from the most vulnerable ."
After assuming the leadership of the newly created Ministry of Human Capital, one of the first instructions Pettovello received from the president was to audit the soup kitchens to detect so-called " ghost soup kitchens ," cutting off all aid and food deliveries to the organizations until then.
Zaracho's request for access to public information came after a presentation by then-Chief of Staff Nicolás Posse before Congress. In May 2024, Posse stated: "An audit was conducted. […] Almost 50% of the registered soup kitchens did not exist." In this regard, Posse said that during the audits, " addresses were found where soup kitchens had never operated, and in other cases, where soup kitchens had operated for a long time ."
