Doesn't look like the Peronists want the loan. They look like they want the government to fail so they can pounce at the mid-term elections.

Peronists oppose Milei's intention to take another loan from the IMF

Some of Milei's party neither! There is so much fighting in LLA party. It is funny to watch the party falling apart even before the elections.

Is it always like this in these House or Senate meetings? I have only seen a few and there is constant chaos. Megaphones? This is Milei's own party member??

Yes this Milei party. She vote against him. Many of us do not want more IMF loans.

Maybe one day someone will tell us the details of the new IMF deal.....

Yes! That is so annoying. How are they not giving the public details about this??? Why do the details have to be so private. Just spill it already!

But why is it like this John? It seems strange that they wouldn't release the terms and conditions and how much they will give and what if any conditions. Why is this? I just saw this article that says the central bank sold $932 million to prop up the peso! That's over 3.4% of its reserves! I see a lot of people condemning taking on more debt. I see Milei years ago despised the IMF. Sure flipped on that!

As far as I can see the cash from the IMF is to refinance the current debt.

This will give Milei and Caputo some breathing space.

I dont know why they don't tell the people the true story

Hopefully they don't blow it on the exchange rate controls. The government is blowing through cash trying to protect the peso. They sold almost a billion US dollars the past few days. It's not going to send up well if they keep doing this. These 2 economists are saying will end in disaster again.

Dos economistas heterodoxos evaluaron la gestión Milei: “Si Argentina sigue endeudándose para sostener el tipo de cambio, solo generará otra crisis”

Mientras Argentina negocia su acuerdo número 23 con el FMI, Ha-Joon Chang y José Antonio Ocampo advierten sobre los riesgos de sostener el tipo de cambio con deuda y la falta de un plan de desarrollo productivo. En diálogo con Infobae, analizaron el impacto del ajuste de Javier Milei, la...

They are so desperate. Cristina is right. Caputo put Argentina into debt. Now doing it again. How much will they blow before the elections?

Milei IS the caste. Pathetic.

Will Elon Musk’s plumber pay for Milei’s trips abroad?

There is reason behind the IMF’s decision to throw its weight behind President Milei, which means partnering with his political objectives too.

I keep seeing old quotes from Milei from years ago about how he hated the IMF so much. Funny to see the flip flop. I guess that shows how desperate he is.

Milei has no choice. He and Caputo are very scared. They keep telling lies since last year that the IMF is close to giving money. Now they say close but many reports that there is no agreement.

Bloomberg says today NO agreement and other countries do not agree to give Argentina so much money up front.

I thought the IMF deal was a done deal. Didn't the head of the IMF announce the other day that it was a done deal? What happened? I don't have Bloomberg. Does anyone have the link to this so I can read it?

I am worried. What will happen if Argentina does not get the $20 billion? Won't things collapse?

The member nations of the IMF still has to approve this. The USA only has 16% of the votes. There is no agreement yet. Things are up in the air. The IMF definitely will give billions if not for self preservation. But the up front money is what is in doubt and the amount. There is no way for the IMF to know what the funds will be used for. They don't want Argentina to blow it all on propping up the peso. They can easily blow a few billion in one month doing that.

I would guess if the IMF did not end up giving the more fresh funds Argentina is in trouble and Milei would probably be toast. The turmoil by his friend Trump couldn't have come at a worse time for Milei!

If the loan package is not big enough it will be like this from before corralito. Look at these articles. Reminds me of Caputo and Milei so confident that they will get all the money. Probably would be the same type of thing where daily we hear about IMF agreements and then wham.
