“Argentina registered a year-on-year inflation rate of 254.2 percent in January, the highest in 32 years, according to data released Wednesday by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC)”

Poorness rise to almost 58% while the president is refusing to hike the minimum wage, which is common to rise every 3 months or so even during the right wing liberal regime of Macri, but this guy FUCK NO he just signed a billion dollar subsidy to “Mercado Libre” the eCash monopoly owned by the richest Argentinean Galperin ~5 Billion of declared wealth

    There is a common trope in Argentina citing and old quote, i think its from Maistre. Los pueblos tienen los gobiernos que se merecen, ~“Countries have the governments that they deserve”. We surely deserved the krichners and now we also deserve this lunatic.

    A social worker I know asked a villero (far lower class) who was he voting for prior to the general elections, and he answered for Milei. The social worker then replied that with Milei, the villero will have nothing to eat. He replied that he doesn’t have anything to eat now, but with milei, you won’t either.

    Argentina has been broken for a long time

      What that Villero said to your friend has helped me understand the rise of this type of politician all across the world far better. If it wasn’t so sad it’d be funny. I hope you get to fix your country one day and all your people then live a good life.
