"Argentina's Economic Experiment: Milei's First 100 Days in Office"

Argentinian President Javier Milei, known for his far-right libertarian views and promises of shock therapy to revive the country's struggling economy, has faced challenges in implementing his radical reforms during his first 100 days in office. Despite initial successes such as devaluing the peso and slashing state subsidies, Milei has encountered resistance from lawmakers and protests from workers and unions. His emergency decree aimed at deregulation was suspended by a court, and his reform bill faced opposition in Congress. Milei now faces the daunting task of delivering results to gain public support, as skyrocketing inflation and poverty rates continue to plague the country.
