I thought this part of the article was interesting. I heard for years that the social organizations force the members to protest or they won't get funds. It's good Milei is changing how funds are getting distributed.

Argentina’s poorest residents were trapped between two extremes: social organizations, which encouraged them to demonstrate, and the government, which warned them not to do so and set up an anonymous hotline to report if they were forced to attend the march. Official sources say that over 9,000 people called to report threats from social organizations.

Fake news! How do we know that there are really 9,000 people that called with threats of social organizations. This is another Milei lie like Dollarization.

You are becoming unhinged Avocado. Milei is changing Argentina. He didn't say dollarization will happen overnight. Unlike you Peronistas, people don't except miracles in DAYS after taking office.
