By Democracy Now

HAVANA TIMES – Far-right libertarian Javier Milei has been sworn in as president of Argentina. He delivered an inaugural speech Sunday from Buenos Aires.

President Javier Milei: “There is no alternative to adjustment, and there is no other alternative to shock. Naturally, this will have a negative impact on the level of activity, employment, real wages and the number of poor.”

Javier Milei is a climate crisis denier who has proposed banning abortion and easing restrictions on guns. He has also vowed to shut down Argentina’s central bank and replace the nation’s currency with the U.S. dollar.

  • What is better?
    IF politics is a circle then the further
    to the right you go the closer you get to
    left and vice versa.

    Easy to simply be critical but constructive
    criticism at least has opportunity for
    positive changes. In particular, the world
    needs constructive criticism and debates
    in education.

    Although often one figure head appears
    to be the leader of any political party, it is the supporter’s collective mindset that often dictates the policies and level of corruption.

    Hot air rises! Makes you wonder what keeps politicians down. Is Argentina’s vote the result of pure frustration; victim of its own desperation?

    Time will tell if the country will heal itself
    and rise above its problems and achieve its goals. Better to encourage positive change at this point and see what unfolds!
