This article is filled with lies.

Milei would abolish Argentina’s public-health and education systems

NOPE, For public health he wants to roll a system copied from obamacare, in the current system politicians decide where to expend the money assigned to health, the proposed system lets patients choose where to go, and the state pays on behalf of the patient.

For public education he wants a vouchers system.

What do those systems have in common? They take the decision over public spending away from politician hands and give it to the people. Obviously, establishment doesn’t like that. He’s not as crazy as the media paints him to be.

shut down the central bank, and use the U.S. dollar as national currency.

Again take the money from the politician control… in this case MORE literally. The money printer should not be used on a whim, like it currently is.

He is the “extreme right” in Argentina, but we have wildly different centers of spectrum than America, in America he would fall about right in the center.

Moving to a pure voucher system is just abolishing public education with extra steps. And voucher systems very much do not take public spending out of politicians’ hands.

Also, from Wiki:

He opposes abortion, including in cases of rape,[23] rejects the inclusion of comprehensive sex education in schools,[24] expresses scepticism towards COVID-19 vaccines,[22] supports civilian firearm ownership,[25][26] favors the legalization of organ trade,[27] promotes the far-right Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory,[28][29] and engages in climate change denial.[30]

Yeah, right in the center. Just your typical moderate, normal guy who totally doesn’t eat people.

We in Argentina don’t care about that. How could we when we are literally starving?
