The problem is that wages in Argentina haven't followed suit, measured in foreign currencies like US$, SFR or EU€. There are now about 30% more people living under the poverty limit, a total of 55% who have less than the price of the basic canasta. You don't have to be a Milei hater to observe that.What would success look like for Milei haters? Almost every category of food from beef to fried chicken is significantly cheaper here than the rest of the world
OK, I admit, rice is slightly more dear. (20 cents per kilo) and Thai food is expensive. So are we just a cheap Pad Thai away from y'all admitting Milei is doing well ?
People who wish Argentina would crash and burn just because they dislike the democratically elected president are evil
Milei's problem is that Argentina was on the way to become another Germany 1923, people would need small prams to carry their wages in 1,000,000,000 pesos bills home, with the previous government leaving a 150% inflation, and a huge deficit on the budget.
The only two futures I can see for Argentina is digging the financial hole deeper and deeper, or the necessary, very unpleasant measures Milei is taking.
