          He’s not. You’re talking to one of the many zealots they have. While they close important ministries like this one, they are spending all the budget in online paid trolls (and it is not even a secret).

          Destroying the subsidies that the previous governments had has made inflation worse in the short term but should improve it in the long term. He says this and people believe it, so they’re powering through the bad times awaiting the better times. In a way he’s in his honeymoon period, and some people like him better because he’s actually following through his policies instead of being all talk.

    Plenty of Porteños I spoke with (pre Milei) had enough of previous governments’ far reaching useless bureaucracies (such as this one). I don’t like the guy’s political stances either ( i.e. licking West up the arse) but he is doing what Argentina has needed desperately for decades now.
