Javier Milei, Argentina’s far-right President, was elected for his dramatic proposals to gut the public sector and impose total austerity on his country. His supporters claimed that his policies would end the country’s deep economic crisis.
But six months into his presidency, Milei has backed off on many of his campaign proposals, only staying true to his promise to repress organized labor and layoff public sector workers.
Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear speak to Zoe Alexandra from Peoples Dispatch to get an overview of his first six months in office.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
