Argentina's new president implements drastic reforms to balance the budget

Argentina's new right-wing, libertarian president, Javier Millet, has implemented drastic measures to balance the country's budget and revive its struggling economy. Within 48 hours of taking office, Millet's economy minister announced devaluing the currency, slashing subsidies, and eliminating more than half of Argentina's government agencies. These reforms have sparked massive protests, particularly from trade unions, who are fighting back against proposed changes to labor laws and union membership requirements. Millet's goal is to break what he sees as the political caste responsible for the country's economic crisis, including corrupt politicians, business leaders with state contracts, and self-interested trade unionists.
