    Official Thread on Corruption in Argentina - Milei Administration Cleaning up house

    This union leader from the teachers' guild is a despicable person, inciting and pressuring teachers to go on strike, wishing for everything to go to hell. It's because of people like this that the country is in the state it's in...

    Does anyone else find it strange Argentina still thinks they won the Falklands War?

    The story of the Falkland Islands is far from over. I believe you have to be Argentine to truly understand it. The British ambassador refused to take a photo because a congresswoman was wearing a shirt featuring the Malvinas with the colors of the Argentine flag. For Argentines, this remains a...

    Economy Milei Sets Up Argentina Privatizations for Airline, YPF - Bloomberg News

    Exactly, you're right! It's time to put an end to all the corruption and abuse. Since 2008, when Aerolíneas Argentinas was nationalized, Argentinians have paid for more than 900 planes, yet there are only 80 in operation. It's disgraceful, and the best thing that could happen to Aerolíneas is...

    Official Thread on Corruption in Argentina - Milei Administration Cleaning up house

    Yet another case comes to light, showing how examples of corruption from previous administrations keep surfacing. Five Kirchnerist militants who didn’t work for 118 days but kept getting paid... and to top it off, one of them was the son of a former director of the Congressional social security...

    Sounds like the government is planning for a lot of power blackouts this summer

    It's frustrating to hear about another summer full of power blackouts, especially since this has been a problem for years. Instead of constantly dealing with outages, the government should be investing in modernizing the country’s energy infrastructure. Proper maintenance, upgrades to the power...

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    Milei has repeatedly expressed his intention to quickly and definitively remove currency controls if he won the presidency. According to his proposals, one of his top priorities was to liberalize the exchange market, allowing for the free buying and selling of foreign currency without...

    Politics Javier Milei and Elon Musk met for the third time in the United States - Infobae

    It seems like Milei is still making waves, this time receiving applause in none other than Wall Street. What's interesting is that, while his style and rhetoric spark controversy in Argentina, in international settings like this, his ideas seem to resonate with certain financial sectors.

    Official Thread on Corruption in Argentina - Milei Administration Cleaning up house

    It seems that the unpleasant Grabois pocketed a few million… He forgot about the project and, out of the 165 houses he was supposed to deliver, he only delivered 15, and they didn’t even have roofs.

    Newcomer Is Argentina a good destination to work remotely?

    From what I understand, they've changed the requirements. Previously, you only needed a minimum of $10,000 to open an account; now they require $50,000, which is a problem for many...

    Politics Asado for everyone who voted against the pension increase

    I think the decision for everyone to pay for their own meal came after the controversy, because the first thing that got out was that Milei was inviting the deputies to a asado at the Olivos residence to thank them for their support. But honestly, I think it's a good idea for everyone to pay...

    Newcomer Impact of inflation on maids

    I pay her 5,000 plus travel expenses per hour. The rate specified by the domestic worker agreement here in Argentina is a joke. I also pay her a bonus and vacation time, even though she’s not officially registered. I’ve known her for a while, and she’s happy with us.

    Is it true that 2 visa overstays = auto 5 year ban?

    In Argentina, immigration laws are a bit more flexible compared to other countries. If you overstay your visa, you're typically fined when you regularize your status or upon leaving the country. There usually aren’t automatic multi-year bans like in other places. Generally, there isn't a penalty...

    Economy The Government has described the privileges of pilots as immoral: from business class tickets to dollar bonuses - Infobae

    Honestly, it’s outrageous that they go on strike, affecting over 30,000 people, demanding what? Better conditions? When Aerolíneas Argentinas pilots earn between 3 and 10 million pesos per month, depending on seniority and flights, as mentioned by Adorni. They also receive bonuses in dollars...
