"It’s terrible, but I don’t have food today. I don’t come every day, but when the spontaneous need arises, I say: ‘Wow, I don’t have any (money), I don’t have any. I’ve already taken on credit from here and from there.’ Then, I have to come here. They take care of me here. They give me food for the day."

"I see it positively because he anticipated it. He said that when he assumed power, there would be a difficult period, recession, because there are things to adjust and fix, and I believe that is something that is being seen. But I think that little by little, things will slowly start to improve."

STORYLINE:
A un año de asumir el poder en Argentina, el economista ultraliberal Javier Milei ha sacado al país de una inflación galopante con un doloroso plan de ajuste y disciplina fiscal, incluyendo recortes al financiamiento a las provincias y universidades, y miles de despidos de empleados púbicos, entre otras medidas.
Del 25,5% mensual que marcó su primer mes de gestión la inflación se desaceleró a 2,7% en octubre, la más baja de los últimos tres años, según datos oficiales.
Como contracara de su plan económico la pobreza se disparó a más del 50% y el Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) se contrajo, con una proyección de caída de entre 2,5% y 3,2% para este año. Sectores clave como la industria, la construcción y el comercio minorista enfrentan dificultades significativas.
En tanto, el consumo se derrumbó: en octubre la caída fue superior al 20% interanual y acumula 12,8% en el año, al ritmo de una fuerte pérdida del valor real de salarios y jubilaciones.
Los analistas coinciden en que la inflación controlada, sumada a la fragmentación opositora, proyectan un escenario favorable para Milei en su segundo año de gobierno, cuando enfrentará su primera prueba electoral en los comicios para renovar el Congreso, que actualmente no controla.
