Saviour or destroyer? A year ago, Javier Milei took office as president of Argentina with a chainsaw as a political metaphor. Twelve months later, society is deeply divided in its assessment of his government's performance. Poverty in Argentina has risen to more than 50% since Javier Milei took power. Nevertheless, many voted for Milei because high inflation was an unbearable burden on their daily lives and they wanted a radical break with the Peronist government. There are also businessmen who see Milei's "shock therapy" as a healing power for the national economy. And many citizens have not yet come out of their stupor at the extremely harsh reforms of the ultra-conservative cabinet. In his first year in office, Milei eliminated ministries, reduced public media and cut public spending. The authors of the report speak with actors in society, with supporters and detractors of the president and his policies: farmers, students, pensioners, trade unionists, journalists and businessmen. #dwdocumentary #documentary #dwdocs #argentina ـــــ DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
