Fernández rejects Milei’s proposed cuts in final speech as president

09-12-2023 09:56 In his last speech as head of state, President Alberto Fernandez rejects drastic fiscal cuts proposed by his libertarian successor Javier Milei.

EDITORIAL

Exit Alberto... and enter Milei

ELECTION 2023: RUN-OFF

The death of moderation and the triumph of polarisation

11-11-2023 05:48 Milei seems to be recovering lost ground after a surprise defeat in the general election. If we are to believe any of the opinion polls that have come out recently (which we should read only with scepticism) the ultra-libertarian holds a thin lead over the economy minister. There seems to be a clear reversal of the post-election sentiment that Massa is already on the way to the Casa Rosada.

ELECTION 2023: OPINION

Macri hates Massa more than Cristina and her Kirchnerites

04-11-2023 05:21 The talk of vanquishing Kirchnerism is as meaningless as when Milei speaks of Communists. Kirchnerism today is not Macri’s enemy, Massa is.
