Milei looks weaker than feared, but he has been getting most of his way in terms of legal changes. Difficult one to call.

Every time I see the term “anarcho-capitalist” my brain chucks out a stack of error messages.

Argentina’s poverty rate has surged to 52.9 per cent under its government’s austerity programme, in a warning sign for libertarian President Javier Milei as his popularity begins to falter.
The rate, published by the national statistics agency on Thursday, is the worst in two decades and 11.2 percentage points higher than in the second half of 2023, when it stood at 41.7 per cent, meaning 3.4mn Argentines have fallen into poverty this year
