Government cuts plunge 2024 Argentina MotoGP round into doubt
With only a month and a half to go before the start of the championship on 10 March in Qatar, Motorsport.com understands that the third stop of the calendar, scheduled for the weekend of 5-7 April in Argentina, is in serious danger of not being held. From the very beginning of his presidency, which began on 10 December, Milei has implemented in Argentina a policy of spending cuts in all areas of the national state, visualised in the reduction by half of government ministries, which went from 18 to nine immediately with the arrival of the new mandate. Within the framework of this programme of budget cuts, the inclusion of the direct expenses of the Argentina Grand Prix is practically unjustifiable, since the event receives a significant amount of money from the national government - a fundamental factor together with the provincial government of Santiago del Estero and the private promoter for the realisation of the race.
