We need to reflect

[perry]

For those who are applauding these savage cuts on the argentinian populace their effects are brutal and will not be reversed under this current government . What benefit is to our society some foreign trade to billionaires when close to 60 % are in poverty . The most sad statistic is diré poverty has climbed from 8 % to 17 % under this government in just 6 months .

Son números que dejó el informe del Observatorio de la Deuda Social Argentina que elabora la UCA. Según su estimación, en los primeros 120 días de gestión, hubo un incremento del 11% en la tasa de pobreza. La indigencia pasó del 9,6 al 17,5 en el prime...

He's the democratically elected President. And polls show if the election were repeated today he would get a bigger majority than last time. This is the will of the people.

So not sure exactly what you are hoping for here, a small group of quasi communists and foreigners to overthrow the government or something like the Cuban revolution ...

¿Cómo evolucionó la pobreza en la Argentina con cada presidente?

If poverty remains at a sustained level well above 42% or on a constantly increasing trajectory over the next year, then I have no doubt that all levels of Argentine society will and must ask some hard questions to the government they elected and they (we) will have every opportunity to express themselves at the mid-term elections next year.

In the meantime lets not negate or re-invent modern Argentine history (and suppress facts) to pretend that the human misery of very high poverty rates has never been seen before in this country (with or without savage cuts) or that it has never "bounced back" from it to some degree.

In the meantime I would encourage expats or foreign fans of Argentina emotionally affected by the visible rise in poverty and who want to do more than just "reflecting" to get involved in donating food, money, time, effort... whatever they can to various social organisations. Maybe people can post here links to different organisations so people can get directly involved and try and be part of the solution on a personal level.
