  3. I guess Argentines would rather just drive their country off the ledge. I can’t even slightly respect these protesters. Most are probably gvt workers who been milking it with bs jobs. Time to get a real beutches.. these people would rather ruin the whole country.

  4. I'm fully in favor of the right to protest, but Milei was just recently and democratically elected. Unless they are protesting against the process for which the reforms are being pushed forward (by decree, rather through parliament as it should be), I don't see much legitimacy in their protests.

  6. Socialists. Argentina is broke, as are most countries these days. The guy is making moves to try and fix the economic mess.

  9. A country is done once you borrow from the IMF. You lose all sovereignty and becomes beholden to those who control the IMF.

  15. Milei did not devalue the currency. The peso has not lost 50% of its value since the election that is either fake news or bad research

  17. All european media are having a left wing speech. I don't know if it's because the money they receive from leftist parties, or because you have forgotten what happened with socialism in europe less than 100 years ago.
    But careful, you're about to experience socialism again, with global leftists capital, and with a lot of different ethnicities more powerful and radical.
    You're already facing the 3rd WW but you're too comfortable to see it

  20. What are these people protesting for? Are they rooting for the same government which led to their 160% increase of inflation? Why don’t they have common sense and realize maybe they should try something new for once.

  21. Privation is only a method of money laundering. It is a way of filtering wealth to politicians and big companies and individuals

  22. Argentina was a step away of becoming another cuba, china even has a military base in Argentina 😳🤦🏻‍♂️

  24. Just a bunch of cry babies. Where were they when the average citizen was suffering in years gone past? They only care about shoring up power for their Peronist elites at the expense of their nation. Milei is the best option they have to give some dignity back to the citizen….. and a voice too.

  34. Milie was elected by a landslide and is now doing exactly what he said he woukd do. So, What these commies are actually protesting is…the voters. "How dare they not continue the polices that destroyed the economy!"

  38. You bash Milei because his policies work and God forbid your precious socialism is wrong. Can’t make the lazy happy when they have to work like everybody else. We need a leader like Javier Milei in America.
