Inflation (money printing) destroyed Argentine. Milei is SAVING Argentina. Can’t just print unlimited money. He should get the Nobel Prize! 😊

[Wild_Turkey]

Didn’t they just stop inflation for the first time in 30 years under his govt.?

Is it possible to report on party affiliation without using "far" in the description? Far right, far left... far gone. As if your opposition holding opinions you aren't comfortable with somehow makes them extreme.

This was better reporting than I've heard, but how about we stop categorizing those with whom we disagree as being extremists just because they are different?

Every country need someone like Javier

Love Javier. The losers who don’t want to do anything are the problem.

Inflation : 0%, Binary surplus sustained for 6 months in a row. The man is a Hero. We are on the right path for the first time in 70 years and this hurts the politicians and other thieves.

Any country under the thumb of IMF isn't a good thing.

The Western press, even some of the major reputable ones stop covering President Milei and his reform since is runoff electtion. This is the first one I came across and I am an avid consumer of global news daily. Thank you AL Jazeera.

milei didn't inflate the money- he slowed the inflation

[XerrolAvengerII]

$277 for an electricity bill is outrageous! why are things soo expensive!?

[dgrolfe]

Milei is not far right. What a joke these journalists are.

The biggest problem Argentina had is corruption starting with melei. Second, melei is asking working people to make all the sacrifice while the wealthy of the country not only sacrifice nothing but benefit from tax cuts and cheap Argentina resources that are being privatized. Imagine buying the utility company at a price that will pay for itself in one year, what s great deal for the wealthy foreign company, but not for the Argentian people who will now pay huge amounts for the utilities.

I’m visiting Buenos Aires right now. Absolutely love this city! And I have a hard time to understand why the economy is doing so bad. This place is amazing! Much love Argentina from my little polish heart ❤

*Argentina🇦🇷 have border disputes with Chile.*

Dealing with an upside-down economy is better done earlier than later. The soft times are finished…….and he journey back to financial sanity and real prosperity will be painful.
Many other countries are on the verge of mirroring the Argentina model and generations in our future will pay the bills that our past generations have created!

As much as I appreciate a review of the impact of Mileis changes - I dont trust peoples opions. Everyone has an agenda - and it all depends on which side of the issue they fall. I would hope someone at some point, can figure out what is really going on in Argentina - and report out to the world for - because the world would be better for it.
