That dude looks like a totally stable president. Like he totes isn’t going to start throwing people into prison over perceived slights or starting execution squads. Nope. Perfectly normal looking.

Definitely not the type to start hucking political opponents out of helicopters.

(Yes, I know Chile and Argentina are two different countries)

I don’t think Argentina has the cash to float a dinghy with a pellet gun on the bow.

People talk about it endlessly. And the rest of the time they talk about the IMF being too lenient (see Javier Milei). At the end of the day, Argentina’s problems are of its own making.

IMF didn’t force anything. Argentina needed money and money comes with strings attached in terms of economic reforms.

The thing is, for example, IMF recommend not to pursue the construction of gasoduct that will allow Argentina to sell LNG wich would provide dollars needed to pay such debt. How can that be?

Let’s be honest here, this is the 90th time, and they asked for this when Cristina whatsherface went mad with spreading cash to her faction.

What we’re seeing here with th3 'opposite and equal reaction" is clearly horrible, but this is why corruption is so bad, it opens the door to far-right fascism.

In b4 every ml says I’m defending fascists.

Typical protest vote. People are pretty much saying “all the parties are useless, fuck them, I’m voting crazy”.

Literally zero chance that backfires for Argentina. I think this is going to go really well, you guys.
