It's about Milei's austerity measures following years of Peronist-esque policies. Short term was always gonna be rough but Milei gambles on pulling Argentina out of its economic troubles through these hard measures. It remains to be seen.
Oh I know his measures. slashing through the public sector, deprecation to boost the exports and slow the imports, deregulation and more neo-liberalism. These are hard measures indeed, but for poorest segment of the population.
Menem already tried something similar 3 decades ago and fixed the problems momentarily to make them worse ending with "el corralito", the worst economic crisis of the last 50 years in Argentina
I understand the desperation of Argentinians though, they can have a break, and they had been stolen left and right. And as the saying goes, if you keep trying the same expecting different results, you are crazy. But I don't know how they will have it with this anarcho capitalist that got as Finance minister the same minister than 5 years ago, so the one that was in charge of the Argentinian economy. Why he will do better if argentina is in this situation partially because of him?
As you said it remains to be seen, but I have little hopes
