January 17, 2024

The freshly installed Head of State had led a peculiar campaign, had promised to slash government spending, in a country where half the population receives support from the State. His radical rhetoric against the political elite had galvanized the youth, but also contributed to stoke fear on the future of democracy in Argentina.
