6. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Martin Lopez, unemployed:
"We fell into this situation after the first austerity measures and could no longer resolve our economic situation. As if that were not enough, I lost my job, and everything became much more difficult. So, unfortunately, we have to resort to soup kitchens to survive."

"Here, most people have families, but people don’t see that. Many are against us but don’t see that we eat from the garbage. We find a soda and drink it. All day long, we live here and eat from the garbage dump. It’s the only decent job we have."

14. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Emilce Correa, laboratory technician:
"I have been working at the hospital for 13 years, and my salary is still below the poverty line. So I have to work doing (extra) shifts. I do shifts in Berazategui and Monte Grande (outside Buenos Aires city). I have to go anywhere to do shifts, which are very far away. And it’s very exhausting because as soon as I finish a shift, I have to go into the hospital, and the situation is the same for most hospital workers because we have salaries like that."

17. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Agustín Salvia, Sociologist:
"The immediate effect of any adjustment program is to increase poverty. That is, (when the government) reduces public spending, prevents the fiscal deficit, generates an economic recession in the market, lowers wages and pensions for retirees, reduces benefits and profits from provincial revenue sharing, and suspends public works. Wow, right?"

"It is a number (of poverty) that will surely reflect the harsh reality that Argentine society is going through and, of course, is a consequence of the populism that has subjected Argentina to so many years of misfortune and devastation."

STORYLINE:
Argentina’s poverty rate jumped from 41.7% to 52.9% during the first six months of Javier Milei’s presidency, the statistics agency reported Thursday, a rise that reflects the pain of the country’s most intense austerity program in recent memory.
