Federico Furiase and Felipe Núñez, key men in Luis Caputo’s team, broke the silence after complaints about privileged loans at Banco Nación. «We were like any neighbor’s son,» they stated, but Justice has its magnifying glass on.

The political climate in the City of Buenos Aires is on fire. While thousands of Argentines make ends meet and dream of access to their own home, a scandal broke out that directly affects the heart of the Ministry of Economy: the so-called “VIP Credits” from Banco Nación.
What happened?
The controversy centers on the granting of mortgage loans on apparently preferential conditions to high-ranking officials and deputies of La Libertad Avanza. In the last few hours, two important names in the environment of «Toto» Caputo came out to give their version: Federico Furiase (Finance Secretary) and Felipe Nunez (director of BICE).
The phrase that lit up the networks
In a streaming interview, officials tried to tone down the complaint. «We did nothing illegal or immoral»they maintained, ensuring that the application process was the standard for any client. However, the argument that they acted as «any neighbor’s son» It did not take long for it to go viral, generating a wave of criticism from users who denounce the real difficulties in accessing this type of credit.
Under the judicial microscope
Despite public defense, the situation is not simple:
- Ongoing research: Justice is already analyzing whether there was influence peddling or undue benefits.
- The contrast: While inflation and rates complicate access to credit for the middle class, the speed and effectiveness with which these officials obtained their loans raised all alarms.
The impact in CABA
In a city where access to housing is one of the most serious problems for young people and professionals, this type of news hits home. The gap between the «austerity» discourse and access to exclusive benefits in public banking puts the economic team in an uncomfortable position vis-à-vis public opinion.
