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

    I agree with you too @GlasgowJohn. Some trips would be necessary but flying around the world to accept awards every 2 weeks is not a good look when you are laying off 100,000 employees with the claims of no hay plata. One week from Zelensky another week Spain. Just needs to be careful...

    Argentina's Security Minister gets first-hand glimpse of “Bukele Model”

    What Bukele has done there is remarkable. Crime is much better. My friend from there tells me it is very safe now. Previously she couldn’t go out at night without fear of getting robbed.

    Argentina and Ukraine working on joint weapons? Is this true?

    I agree. Many Russian friends I know are totally against what Russia is doing. Many are leaving Russia as that isn’t a country they want to raise their kids in.

    Real Estate Sales Families with mortgages complain about the rise in interest rates - El Cronista

    Yes in looking at the new mortgage products in Argentina it seems like these could be risky with inflation adjustment. I guess if Milei improves things it could be more stable but then again they could shift wildly it seems like too.

    IMF green lights $800 million for Argentina with program 'firmly on track'

    Is the IMF generally disliked by Argentines? When I talk to people there they speak very negatively about them and blame them for their woes. Seems like people always want to blame someone else for bad decisions. Without the IMF what other option would Argentine have had?

    Food & Drink What's your favorite local dish, and where do you get it?

    Someone needs to open a restaurant! I can tell you are a great cook! Thanks for this list. I heard they have amazing food in Salta. I haven’t ventured too much in Argentina besides Iguazú, Mendoza and Bariloche but I want to try traveling more and trying out different types of food.

    Milei orders military parades for Independence Day celebrations - I thought No Hay Plata!

    All great points Tony. Many I talk to seem to be very leery of any build up in military as they think that Bulrich will use it in a negative way. But these are also CFK supporters. But several I know that support Milei don’t think spending money on military is a priority now but you make...

    First Clinic with a Voucher System.

    I have ended many friendships over the past few years. They can’t separate personal life from politics. I tried but every conversation turned political. A shame

    Economy The government claimed that wages are outpacing inflation: it's a joke?

    Inflation is now about 6% a month so aren’t they just saying wages went up by more than that?

    No one is going in for flu shots now - Respiratory diseases are surging in Argentina

    That is a great point. It might just be financially motivated right now during tough times.

    I love this place! I will have to try that other one that was in National Geographic. I’ve never heard of it!

    Why have there been so many cases of workplace violence lately?

    Probably with the very bad economy people are stressed and on edge. Saw that murder in Recoleta on the news and was shocked.

    Banking Great Initiative by Banco Provincia: A New Way to Withdraw Money from ATMs

    I’ve never heard of this bank or seen many branches. Hopefully all these banks improve their technology. Many don’t even work with the newer bills. Several of my expat friends that have DNIs tell me they rarely use their local accounts much.
