Could you keep us informed once this has been to court? As far as I see normally these are maximum sentences to scare the people (not only in Argentina). I would actually be surprised if he has to go to prison. Probably a few months on probation or something like that.

I am totally with you. It seems the government tries to "correct" unwelcome trends in the rental market with more and more interventionism and making the problem bigger with every measure it takes. It is certainly an unwelcome outcome (on either side) if there are more and more vacant...

According to this article on infobae the rents went up 70% in 2020, well above inflation. The minister Ferraresi is studying to implement an additional tax on vacant departments / real estates. And if I understand the following correctly, only 5% of the rental contracts are effectively...

Your experience does not reflect in any way my experience here. Where ever I go, I find that people are pretty respectful in this regard and line jumping is not something I have seen many times. I even wondered at bus stops etc that there are waiting lines which are respected. You just go there...

And here are the knuckleheads who got caught (or better: they filmed themselves racing in Nordelta) in two Ferraris last week: https://www.infobae.com/sociedad/2021/04/30/de-algo-vamos-a-morir-cuatro-hombres-se-filmaron-corriendo-una-picada-a-bordo-de-dos-ferraris-en-nordelta/

The flight on 8th of May (LH511) got cancelled. Do you know why they cancelled it? Is it related to new government restrictions? BTW: according to Google Flights the next flights on May 15 and 22 are currently still on: What happens if the flight get cancelled? Do they just return the money...

I am not much of an engine person myself, but still find it quite interesting in the restaurant Napoles in Av Caseros. There are quite a few old cars and motos. (not sure whether it is open now during the day, but certainly worth a visit after the lockdown is over)

If you look at the cases (not the death), I fail to see a big difference in the development / trend of province and CABA (also according to La Nacion):

Could you quote something on that? I would indeed be very surprised if they did not send their kids to school. In fact, the vast majority of the parents want to have their kids in school. What is - however - well documented is that Kiciloff (that's the governor of the province who is lobbying...

Thank you. In my case I just want to make sure I can reenter, I don't really care about getting residency here in the short / mid-term (at the moment). My thinking is, if I come back in Aug / Sep then with three months visa I can make it until year end, and then I hope to spend a few weeks or...

I am also leaving in a couple of weeks and will be back in August / September. I am not a resident here, but I do have OSDE insurance here, so I think we are in a quite similar situation (married to Arg citizen with two binational (Arg) kids). What process is then required under the family...

According to this article we (CABA / AMBA) are on maximum level (Alarma): Ante estas jurisdicciones, el Presidente no adelantó cuáles serán los criterios y variables que dispondrán que una región está en situación de alarma. ”En estas zonas el sistema de salud está muy tenso y la proporción de...

Thank you for the update. What I don't understand: there are different measures depending on whether the zone is low or high risk (or alert): SITUACION DE BAJO MEDIO RIESGO EPIDEMIOLÓGICO Y SANITARIO ALTO RIESGO EPIDEMIOLÓGICO Y SANITARIO ALARMA EPIDEMIOLÓGICA Y SANITARIA What is the status...

If you look at the deaths per 1m, Argentina is indeed not worse off than the countries that you mentioned: In comparison with California the fact is striking, that we performed more than 6 times less tests, also 4 times less than Italy. In comparison with Brazil and India it is about the...

At this point it is effectively too late, second wave is coming one way or the other. There are certain restrictions required (bars, casinos, public events etc), but to me it is clear that phase 1 lockdown is simply not doable (as we had last year). Not socially, certainly not economically...

Well, I am neither an English native speaker nor a Spanish native speaker. What I understood is that the broader term in Spanish "cuarentena" is used to describe "containment and closure" policies. I have rarely ever heard the equivalent term in English "quarantine", but almost always I read /...

I said Argentina "had one of the world's hardest and longest lockdowns". The other day I saw an article in infobae comparing the stringency of the lockdown measures comparing Argentina with Spain (source). I now checked the data (from the University of Oxford comparing the measures of all...

Were you here in Buenos Aires last year between end of March until let's say June / July? Public life came to a stand still, literally almost no traffic and economic activity. With the exception of supermarkets and pharamcies there was complete shut down. As an example, in April last year not a...

Given that Argentina had one of the world's hardest and longest lockdowns (followed by one of the biggest GDP contractions), it is quite an achievement to end up at the bottom in this list, even behind Mexico and barely above Brazil (two countries, whose presidents basically ignored the...

I am yet to meet an Argentine who would care about tax compliance and legality in such a matter.
