Depending on your point of view it's already between 8% and 25% privatised. It's not just all the outsourcing: right from the start in 1948 General Practitioners have always been outside contractors because as a body they didn't agree with nationalisation and that was the only way the Atlee...

Here's the same story from more accessible source: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jul/24/kemi-badenoch-argentinian-president-javier-milei-template-conservatives-tory-government No archive version required but here's one anyway: https://archive.is/l8Jph Once again, I'd say, we have...

Remember, the purpose of all those questions surrounding bank transfers is to reduce money-laundering and fraud. If you think leaving a field like that blank wouldn't be a big, red flag to the systems, fair enough.

Are you trying to buy travel insurance for someone else who is coming to visit Argentina. If I've got the wrong end of the stick, I apologise but having seen policies where the small print says things about declaring everything (including, now I'm older, whether I have made an appointment to see...

It's a great article for truthiness, isn't it? As you read it you can play 'spot the massaged statistic' and 'spot the alternative facts' both at the same time but as it is an opinion piece the bar for veracity seems to be set that much lower. I wonder whether the editor put his head round the...

It's a good idea but I suspect they will require some Argentine ID to set it up and as I recall, the OP doesn't have any. Poste Restante is designed for foreigners just breezing on through and I should hope that his foreign documents would be fine.

What about the internationally recognised Poste Restante service? You just need to specify which post office you will use to receive your mail. As it says in the link (below) there is a charge for this service. https://www.correoargentino.com.ar/que-es-poste-restante Word to the wise: Other...

At least you no longer have the Soviet Radio Tirana Interval Signals to contend with. Now imagine having that all day and every day? In those days if you lived within about a thousand miles of Albania you would dread those nights when the weather conditions were just right to allow broadcasts...

S'funny: I'm sure I remember that when you rocked up on this forum years ago you were asking about how you could apply for citizenship and talking about your foreigner's DNI.

Just out of interest, which route did you eventually take to claim your Argentine citizenship? In the end was it your mother, your wife or your child? Not that it matters now that you have left.

Before I changed it, I used to have a signature line at the bottom of my posts in BAExpats that read: For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong. and I think that's the territory we are in here. The extent to which the super rich are gobbling up what...

Wait a moment. I always mix up Musk and Milei. Let me see: one dresses in odd clothes, waves a chainsaw around and thinks he's the President. And the other one is Milei. Have I got that right?

What a great name!!! So great that it has already been adopted by an international metals business, a retirement living trade association and, with a lower case "g" crowded out by capitals, a perfume and fragrance company. And possibly more: I stopped looking after three. I only started looking...

I'm not in Argentina right now so perhaps someone could check this for me: last time I checked a gold coloured pack of Cabrales(1) ground coffee it said "torrado con azucar" not just torrado. I still think the Argentine word "torrado" simply means "roasted" as it does in the rest of the Spanish...
