    Milei Won. He is the new President of Argentina.

    Like it or not, and despite the polemics expressed here by expat non voters, Milie was clearly the overwhelming choice of the Argentine people. Milie won the most popular votes ever by an Argentine presidential candidate and only Juan Peron won a greater percentage of the presidential vote. That...

    JPMorgan Sees Argentina Economy Facing Prospect of Hard Landing

    It is heartening to see from the comments how well so many expats have so adapted into and integrated with Argentine society’s prescient socio political world view. Clearly the cabal of Yanqui politicians that have historically schemed and sabotaged to keep Argentina from its rightful place...

    Best city besides Buenos Aires for foreigner to live in?

    If you like German culture, Villa General Belgrano, is a mini Bariloche with chocolate shops and microbreweries. It is where the sailors from the Adm. Graf Spee settled in Argentina as well as where Kurt Tank, Germany's WWII top fighter plane designer also called home after the war.

    Argentina's history of slavery: should there be reparations?

    Mc Kenna, I applaud your rising consciousness, you have made the first step forward by acknowledging systematic expat privilege (expatism) and asking the right questions, namely how an expat can become an ally to the systematically historically oppressed and marginalised victims of expat...

    Argentina's history of slavery: should there be reparations?

    Reparations are an excellent idea, just and fair! It is obvious to any non-racist, thinking human that any Argentine of African or Indigenous decent has been historically oppressed and they and their descendants should be fairly compensated by the Argentine government for the historic pain...

Do you think that La Cumbre/ Los Cocos are a good place to live more permantly ( compared to CABA) or does its charm wear off when you are not there only on holiday. It also appeared to me that whilst real estate was more...
