The far-right president repeals laws before going through Congress, eliminates dozens of state controls and enables the privatization of companies
Just based on the article, these "reforms" are clearly aimed at harming the working class. I'll give you one guess as to which other class of people will benefit from them.
Good luck Argentina. You're going to need it.
It's so easy to destroy shit. Much much harder to build something that will work.
Scary times for Argentina
I'm honestly interested to see how this goes. Usually when someone is elected who claims to be "libertarian" they don't actually adhere to the philosophy or just pay lip service. I lean socialist myself, but one size never fits all and Argentina is in bad enough shape that maybe this will help.
Same here. Milei as an experiment could go either way, but staying the course would have led to certain disaster... and to be frank, the country as a whole doesn't have a lot to lose at this point anyway.
You are talking about a guy who takes economic advice from a "psychic medium" who he believes is in turn talking psychically to his dogs, who he believes are clones of resurrected jesus-dog.
True. I'm just glad I'm not part of that experiment. It's bad enough to live with the threat of a second Trump presidency.
It looks like he's trying to heal a patient with bloodletting. I think it might help to revive the economy, but also may be a disaster. Also I think that the social guarantees should at least be in force after things get better, if not the whole time. Trying to work things out for the country by putting the citizens in even worse position does not seem like a humane thing to do even if it works :(
Aww, why didn't he stay the course? Things have been going so well!
Did it get into this state because of bad policy or because of corruption?
Probably a lot of both, though the last government Fernandez/Kirchner was a special treat, considering especially the Kirchner clan's history of economic failure and record-breaking number of corruption charges. But during the 2019 elections Kirchner promised to have learned her lesson and do better this time, which appears to have convinced a majority of voters. 🤷♂️
Yes.
