Argentina's Milei Faces Backlash as Poverty and Discontent Rise

President Javier Milei's radical economic reforms have led to increased poverty and public protests, challenging his administration's stability.

Argentina's poverty rate has surged to 52.9%, with about 25 million people living in precarious conditions since Milei took office.
Mass protests have erupted against Milei's budget cuts, particularly affecting universities, as public support for his government wanes.
Milei's economic policies, characterized by drastic budget cuts and deregulation, have led to significant economic contraction and social unrest.
Controversy surrounds Milei's governance style, including accusations of copying speeches and using questionable tactics to pass legislation.
Amidst criticism, Milei remains optimistic, promising economic recovery and political gains in the upcoming 2025 elections.
