  1. Send them all to the US. They can get free everything in NY and California.

  2. How about some details on the bill. What a waste of reporting or lack there of!

  3. He's not a far Right politician. Bull$hit nbc reporting

  4. Why keep calling him "far right"? He's libertarian.

  5. I love how they’re trying to make him the villain, when he’s stepping in because of the decades of rot 🙄

  6. They do not show how the "protesters" break public space, set fires and attack journalists. The majority doesn't know why they are protesting, some of them even get paid by left wing parties and union labors

  7. So Fat Left insurrectionist against the elected by the people Libertarian Right Government !

  8. Come on Argentineans u can do better than this. If only its easy to UNITE. I fell in love when i visited the country. Great people beautiful landscape quality service quality food way way way
    better than service in d US.

  9. Oh no, they’re afraid they’re actually gonna have to work now!

  10. Oh no the socialists of Argentina are angry lol

  11. I love him. Stand up to socialism.

  12. The next US president has to undo all of Biden's "scorched earth" damage…inflation, wars, etc.

  13. So I guess they want the old government that put 40% of the population into poverty? Is that what the protesters want?

  14. And again that's smearing…" Far right"

    Anybody who wasn't progressive woke is "far right" today the established media.

  15. The coming austerity will be painful no doubt, but what else is Argentina to do?

  16. I don't know why they so mad about firing government officials who got them to the highest inflation rate in first place. These people are corrupt and useless. Why you want them running your country? Ah, yeah. As long as they commies, they happy about it even people starve to death.

  17. A few marxist threw a tantrum. No different than antifa commie's in the states

  18. This IS the reality Argentina, and any other country, that embraces Socialism/Communism. And NOW, when you brake the Socialism/Communism system, the REALITY emerges. It takes time to the situation normalize. And the remedy is bitter.
    Again, the Inflation that is showing up now, is the Inflation that had been being covered by the formers "governments".

  19. Haven't seen hyper-inflation in 30 years? What BS!

  20. Soooo what's the proposed bill? This isn't news at all

  21. Dah, destruyeron la economia, y no merecen volver a poder los comunistas. No cede a los locos comunistas.

  22. Free stuff is being taken away!

  23. We are no better ..Look at Trump, he does not care about you, me or ANYONE except himself, yet right wingers want him to be President. boggles the mind.

  24. Those people don’t even know why they’re angry. One person stands up and says something and they all jump on the bandwagon. When you already have nothing you have nothing to lose, so what’s the big deal?

  25. People who doesn't work and vagabonds are protesting because they were subsided by the communist government before, but they didn't care the comunnist government was stealing every dollar and everything produced , communist wants to destroy everything and own everything, don't think they're playing a game in this world

  26. Los manifestantes son bago sabandija

  27. They voted for the nitwit. That what they get. Just like democrats.

  28. Why isn't the economy fixed yet? It's already been almost 2 months 😂

  29. The problem with Milei and most right wing economists, is that they think that an economist and an accountant are the same thing.

  30. Of course, who wants to release the breast of the government when they give you money for no reason

  31. Milei must be doing something right, you know you are over the target when you start receiving flak

  32. This is what happens when u vote for blue

  33. You wanted Trump? You got it. Enjoy.

  34. Some countries are killing people with violence and crime, some with wars, and this guy with the economy. Is there no end to all this suffering across the globe?

  35. Only supper left is doing that, why you do not give proper news, most people are super happy with Milei government

  36. The streets of Argentina… is only in one specific area, is about 200 demonstrators, and 500 police. Please be more real!

  37. He is not wrong these fools don’t understand economics. When you switch from a socialist system to a capitalist system is extremely painful and alot of people will lose jobs, but the results afterwards will be a 1st world difference adverse to a 3rd world economy.
