    Milei's alleged success under questioning from studies measuring people's reality

    To be honest the report only republishes official data about the downturn in the economy. Milei during the election campaign did point out there would be a downturn for between 6 and 12 months. So the article is not reporting anything that wasn't pointed out before.

    Investigation shows bus firms part-owned by Milei’s father received huge state subsidies - $33 MILLION USD

    The subsidies were received in the 2005-2007 period. Milei was not involved in politics at that time

    Politics Roadblocks in the Fight Against Human Trafficking: The Rejection of a Crucial Article

    the border crossing report on TN is correct, but perhaps it is interesting to point out that you must present your DNI or passport when you leave Argentina. A young kid would have to do the same as well as the other bits and pieces you have to present when a child crosses the border. OK , the...

    Politics Roadblocks in the Fight Against Human Trafficking: The Rejection of a Crucial Article

    As @earlyretirement says it's impossible to smuggle a kid out of an Argentine airport. But the land borders are easy, especially if there are rivers close by. There are a couple of barges close to Puerto Iguazu which take you over to Paraguay Price 10 bucks - there is no immigration post.

    I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell the name of the country Argentina right.

    Maybe he is in training for the Pole Vault or perhaps the High Jump?

    I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell the name of the country Argentina right.

    Apparently, there was another semi-dodgy award in the Czech Republic yesterday, This guy is more of a narcissist than my ex-wife... In one of the speeches, he claims that he wouldn't be surprised if he got the Nobel prize this year as he and his team are rewriting economic theory . Hope he...

    Politics Roadblocks in the Fight Against Human Trafficking: The Rejection of a Crucial Article

    Yes, it's a problem How big? No one really knows. There are a lot of missing children on the police files. But sometimes when they turn up, no one tells the police, so they are still officially missing. Historically the police have not bothered too much to keep the investigations going...

    But if she did this, there is no reason why you should do this. SI NO HAY PLATA , NO HAY PLATA PARA VAJES NARCISTICOS.

    Politics Diplomatic crisis with Spain? How does it affect Argentina if the president of Spain withdraws his ambassador?

    Just to remind the super libertarians in the group. The balcony being used by AYUSO and MILEI is in the former HQ of Franco-s secret police where many democrats , left and right-wing , were tortured in the post-Civil War Years

    I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell the name of the country Argentina right.

    /// The award from the Community of Madrid was given by the right-wing president of the community – it is politically motivated and the principal reason is to annoy the Country’s center-left President – This can only be described as semi-dodgy. With all due respect, this is not a real award –...

    And President Milei IS attempting to drum up support and investments in Spain. Many people don't know this but Spain is #2 behind the United States as biggest foreign investors in Argentina. https://apnews.com/article/spain-argentina-milei-visit-diplomacy-788fecb50a955b5edac2cd500f720e48 You...

    I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell the name of the country Argentina right.

    It is semi-dodgy because it is not a real prize or medal It is from a right-wing leader of the Comunidad de Madrid to a right-wing President. There is no merit involved here - if he was left-wing, he would not get this prize. The medal in Germany is more of the same, a right-wing economics...

    I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell the name of the country Argentina right.

    Going to talk to potential investors is absolutely fine. To go and pick up semi-dodgy prizes and medals from political allies using taxpayers' cash is not really sensible when we all know that "no hay plate"
