Yikes it sounds like inflation is jumping back up. Insane how much food prices go up there each month in Argentina. https://en.mercopress.com/2025/03/29/argentina-skyrocketing-food-prices-threaten-gov-t-inflationary-targets

I can see both sides of this. On one hand it sucks for the retirees but this is not sustainable to keep paying so much. Sounds like a no win situation.

This is a good time line on Milei's gaffes and goof ups. Here in Spain many people used to praise him but even here a few Argentines I know in Malaga say that the tide is turning. https://www.leftvoice.org/portrait-of-a-weakened-milei/

But people can't be that bad or poor in Argentina. I just read an article that said something like 10% of Argentina's entire population went away to Brazil in January on vacation! That doesn't sound like people that are struggling.

But will they just go back to doing the same thing? That doesn't sound like it's working out well. If they get that money will they just continue to prop up the peso? Here in Europe we are seeing more and more articles saying the tide has turned on his approval ratings...

It is honestly tough to believe any news coming out of Argentina good or bad. The people I met here in Spain that left BA tell me things under Milei got very expensive and still dealing with same problems. Still currency controls. They still can't take out much money from ATMs, still have to use...

What are you talking about?? There are towns of Argentines here in Spain. They left Argentina because it was so screwed up. Here in Malaga there are so many people from Argentina and a lot from Buenos Aires. People are literally telling you that they left Argentina because of the conditions and...

Why does the Central Bank buy a few million dollars every day and then friday they sold almost half a billion dollars in dollars? Help someone that does not understand anything understand this?

I haven't even been to Argentina before but doesn't take a trip to Argentina to know that growing tomatoes in a country with tons of fertile land shouldn't cost much at all or be priced high. Seems like everything is overpriced there.

Come on Avocado. Marijuana is legal in much of the world now. Smoking cigarettes are more dangerous than smoking pot. I guess I'm a "dirty drug user" too. :ROFLMAO:🚬🚬 How much more will electricity rates go up? I understand that the rates were too low before but seems like making them 3x or 4x...

What a difference a year makes. I figured that this President would turn things around and stop fraud. Instead every day it seems like there is another scandal. First the Libra but every day my friends send me new scandals that Milei is involved in...

I have heard of beggars on the street asking for a few bucks. But I never thought I'd see it on an expats forum! BA is truly something else!

Who is that? Enfermos en Palermo? :ROFLMAO:

You think this is bad. I read about some buildings with no power for 60 hours. What in the heck?! This sounds very third world to me.

The things people do in BA to sell coffee. :ROFLMAO:
