Many US cities have crazy stuff going on now. January 6 was a disgrace! And many ended up in jail. There is no place for that in any society.
Some say Bullrich allowed all of that to show how desperate the other side is. Maybe it was a stroke of genius to allow that to play out the way it did. The votes came through and that is all that matters for today.
But to be fair you don't know that these people were behind this do you? Was this in the news that it was foreigners behind this? I totally don't know and had no interactions with these people while I was there. The only ones I met were Uber drivers that were from Venezuela and they all seemed to like Milei.
The people ultimately behind it are CFK and the like. Argentina has plenty of ignorant citizens on its own. Not saying these people aren't involved but the most corrupt are Argentines.
No surprise at all there. Wow, I didn't know that fact about only 50% having sewers.
Yes it looks like if they were more severe they would get severe backlash from the 50% that are against them.
Crazy that government employees are there. Isn't the government on a firing spree. Can that employee lose his job for this kind of thing? Is he in jail?
Oh sorry I didn't see your post.
The worst thing is that it's almost impossible to fire employees here without having to pay big penalties. I hope this employee gets fired. That is one of the things Milei is trying to change. Labor reform. There are a lot of whacky laws on the books when it comes to employees.
Luckily, there aren't any people from the conurbano on this forum, right? Haha, that was a bit of a racist comment. The areas you mentioned are even more expensive than CABA. The northern zone is where the high society lives, celebrities and millionaires. Without saying it, you were referring to the southern conurbano. I don't agree with generalizing or being racist based on where someone comes from or lives.
Yes this is the same thing my novia and her family say. I also don't get why they aren't more strict but I'm told it's not as easy as it appears with 50% of the popular against. It could escalate things they tell me.
Ok got it but are municipal employees allowed to do this? Are there no ramifications for municipal employees for doing this sort of thing or getting arrested? Seems wild that people think they can do this kind of thing and not get fired from their employers?
@MikeYoung you'd be surprised. It is very difficult to terminate or fire employees here. And if you do, there is a lot of severance pay that you have to pay them. The longer they have worked the more pay you have to pay them.
The issue is that they arrested people that weren't burning cars or making disruption. Some people claim to be peacefully protesting and getting arrested.
