Union cares more about itself than anything
Who put their votes on him? We don't know who we can voted.
no surprise here. It’s gonna be very difficult for this new president to curtail and cut back on the excess spending that Argentina has been doing for 100 years. plus all their corruption.
It is possible oneself currency values suddenly for Argentina government orders it's results forms also reached less financial levels of Argentina
Sure, that’s helpful. Go to work!
Yes, this will help to improve the economy
A bunch of adult children.
A president’s job is to get people from various factions to work together. A polarising figure like Millei might won him the job. But getting the job done is a different thing altogether
Argentine economy collapsed so no more subsidies and welfare funds for lefties…
Very first group, PTP, communists. LOL as long as unions are just openly offspring of communist parties they are not neutral institutions and so their protests are meaningless, these people would protest Milei no matter what he did, they are supporters of left-wing parties that lost the election. What this fundamentally is, is an anti-democratic series of riots against the will of the argentinian people by communists who, seeing their grip on power escape from them, want to seize power by force
