I guess we are all about to find out how true that is.
As an Argentinian living abroad and having left the country for how unbearable it was, I can tell you it's true. I'm not saying some of those things aren't important, but Argentina's Government is like a crackhead. You give it some money and expenditure capabilities, and the next thing you know is at the shadiest dealer, buying as much of the worst stuff.
You need to cut the vicious cycle somewhere. Unfortunately for Argentina, that place is Welfare State.
Right, because that worked great for Brazil, right? No, wait, the 6 years of rightwing "cuts" actually devalued the Real by 50%.
You've got to understand that politics are never so straightforward. Bolsonaro's premise might have been one, but the execution might have been another.
So has come to pass with many presidents in Argentina, promising to solve the issues, and making them worse.
Not everyone might like Milei, but the truth is that he was the lesser evil, and by a long margin.
Rightwingers aren't human.
Great discussion and arguments, mate. Top level. e/π levei.
There's no discussion on the subject. Rightwingers should feel lucky to be alive.
When has a far right guy like this ever been successful?
AFAIR, Thatcher wasn't half bad. I mean, she was elected three times.
Your question is irrelevant. Milei is libertarian not far right.
