    When Pedro Sanchez apologizes for the comments from one of his ministers re Milei and for his own involvement in the election campaign with Massa , Milei may look to withdraw some of his comments, but he won't apologize.

    Politics Thread: President Javier Milei - Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) in real-time

    Thanks for flagging this up @Avocado - drafting young people into the military is not a good idea no matter where you live. There is also a tremendous mistrust of the armed forces in Argentina which makes this idea totally crazy.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Politics The Secretary of Religion under Milei wants to repeal abortion laws

    Milei has several well-educated women in his team. but I fear that many of these right-of-center females agree with Milei on this one. Argentina is still one of the places where your view on women's rights is affected by your political persuasion

    Milei - Time magazine

    Watching the "show" last night, I was thinking how much of a narcissist, Milei is ...... I mentioned this to my wife and she replied, " Yes, But he is our narcissist...." They seem to love this aspect of his character. So getting on the front cover of Time will be a major Kudos for him with...

    Politics Milei will present his book at Luna Park tomorrow....There will be surprises

    He has been in power for 5 months. I am not totally convinced a book launch and a party are the right things to do at the moment. Keep working and doing everything to get inflation down. Forget about the parties for now.

    Homicide, robbery and petty theft on the rise in Greater Buenos Aires

    Read the article carefully. He reports estimated figures / there can be as many as 10,000 can be anything really - 9999? or 9000_ or 10001? And how many days in the quarter did it reach this figure? I suspect fluff and very inaccurate reporting. Par for the course from this publication
