Argentina: 32,000 Firms Shut, 500K Jobs Lost Under Milei Austerity
BioBío ChileLO·AR·about 22 hours ago
Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof sharply criticized President Javier Milei for withholding funds for water infrastructure and school maintenance, calling libertarians 'shameless' and urging them to confront Milei directly. The exchange reflects deepening political polarization ahead of midterm elections, with provincial-federal funding disputes becoming a central battleground. The immediate impact is political rather than economic, though prolonged funding cuts could strain provincial services.
