I have predicted that Argentines will tire of all of these austerity measures. We will see more strikes, more protests and these types of things. I am seeing more and more of them.

From what my girlfriend tells me, there have always been lots of protests no matter who is President. Hopefully people can hang on there.

This is true. There are actually not as many now vs. prior years. Some people try to pretend there weren't always problems but my same friends that are complaining against President Milei were complaining each of the past several years too. They always are blaming someone for this mess.

Looks like the protests are picking back up again. I heard it used to be very bad before. I know this government is trying to prevent them. Looks like some of the protestors are even using pepper spray which I thought was illegal there?

I just saw La Nacion did a graphic and it shows less people protesting against Milei in Buenos Aires. Not too scientific but it's a good start.

More austerity measures coming. Going to be interesting what happens before the elections. Trump seems like he is going to do the same as Milei and don't think it will turn out good for the USA. USA is probably going to go into recession this year if tariffs go through.

Argentina is a circus and unfortunately probably always will be. Milei will eventually get forced out like De la Rua. It is not a matter if just when.

We will see more and more strikes and protests leading up to the election. I hope they don't get violent or the brutal police violence. Bullrich is drunk with power.
