It looks like the new government plans to introduce a special tax for the "consumption in dollars".

If your peso credit card is charged in USD, there will be 20% tax on top of the official exchange rate. For example, 1000 USD airline ticket will cost you not 63,000 pesos, but 75,600 pesos (1.2 * 63).

Yes more of this nightmare. Also double indemnizaciones. And visits by Venezuelan officials, a grand ceremony with grenadiers for the President of Cuba, a visit by Evo Morales etc. What a dismal start.

Doble indemnización: Alberto Fernández la restableció por decreto para frenar los despidos

El Presidente declaró la emergencia pública en materia ocupacional por 180 días.

A government that's more concerned with the majority than 30% in the middle and upper classes. A great start.

Communism (Cuba) and totalitarian, corrupt "socialism" (Venezuela) are not models for success. And excessive taxes do not create a stable or strong economy that benefits the majority. If this government really cares about the people, the two Fernandezes must have gone through some sort of spiritual transformation during their political exile.

Improving relations with Cuba and Venezuela does not mean taking them as a model, it means improving relations. Taxes on a minority and their luxuries, like international holidays and iPhones, do indeed benefit the majority who can't afford those things anyway because their salaries have been halved since 2015. We just had a free market government and it was a total disaster, time for something else - the same thing that resulted in unprecedented growth from 2003 to 2015 would be a good start.

Macri's government was really free market? It would take Argentina many years to develop a moderately free market economy. It certainly didn't do so under Macri. In what way would "improving" relations with Cuba and Venezuela benefit Argentina? Incidentally, it's not just oligarchs who take vacations abroad. I know people of very modest means who save to travel to the US - many Argentines love Florida, Miami and Disney etc. Do you think they don't have a right to travel and broaden their horizons?

Maintaining good relations with every country is beneficial, this is a fact that's even core to 'free market' philosophies that dictate that continuing trade with practically everyone will inevitably have them open their market more to you. You either believe that trade is mutually beneficial or you don't, which is it?

In what way would 'straining' relations with Cuba and Venezuela benefit Argentina? Of course you can't answer that question, it's just ideological irrationality.

I know people of very modest means

Anyone who goes to Miami and Disney is not of 'very modest means' by this country's standards. Again I remind you that 70% of Argentines are not charactised as even middle class. CABA, Mendoza, Cordoba etc are not measures of the majority.

You are wrong. People, even in poor areas of the province, have credit cards and buy tickets on "cuotas". You are totally wrong.

FYI the Peronismo follows the economic doctrine of the catholic church that is previous to the Cuban socialism or the chavism. I just let you know so you don’t do the ridicoulous.
