    Every time a post about this guy comes up people start commenting like they know anything about Argentine politics.

    The previous party (and only other option) was paying off IMF’s debt with money lended from China. There were printing money like there is no tomorrow. There were tight controls on the prices of everything. All while spending like crazy. Basically, they took all the money they could from every possible way.

    Argentina needs drastic reforms and costs cutting. No wonder US and the IMF are applauding Milei’s plan.

    More people ITT should get their first word asses up for a bit and take a look at the reality of our country instead of blindly hating on the new right winger. He is far from perfect, but also he’s the best we can produce, period.

      Just because the other guys suck, doesn’t make this guy ok. Or not a fascist.

        Choosing the lesser evil is a reality for Argentinians.

        I am curious about you saying he is a fascist. Why exactly? Look up that definition before answering.

        But again, what would you know speaking from your comfortable first world chair. The guy is not great by any means, I even would agree with you that he is not “ok”. But he is the best we’ve got. The other side is worse, nothing we can do about it.

          Ok. How about we meet here again in 2 years and see where you stand then?

      This is very much not a good thing in my book. The IMF has a historical record of always recommending austerity policies that always fail to let the country staying afloat.
