In December of last year, we talked about the New Deal in Argentina for several episodes. Although the Soviet Union has been dead for 30 years, there are still people who really believe in the "shock **". At that time, we expected that Argentina's misery might continue. Milley spent more than 1 month playing a country, and Argentina finally fell into a national turmoil.
According to the news of the American media "Associated Press" and Qatar's ** "Al Jazeera", on the 46th day of the new ** coming to power, Argentina broke 2 records. The first item is that since 1983, after the new ** came to power, the fastest turmoil broke out. Second, Argentina's first nationwide strike in five years.
However, on the data released by Argentina, there are different opinions. The Argentine left has declared that more than 1.5 million Argentine people from all walks of life have poured into the streets across the country to carry out strikes** demonstrations, holding high the banner of "the motherland cannot be sold" to oppose the new ** Javier Milley's new deal. The Argentine Milley** claimed that in the capital Buenos Aires, 40,000 people went on strike and 80,000 demonstrated, but did not deny the news of the nationwide unrest.
In fact, in the previous policies, such as taking the initiative to greatly depreciate the currency, comprehensively reducing state-owned enterprises, reducing departments, reducing subsidies for people's livelihood industries, allowing the trafficking of human organs, canceling the Ministry of Health, etc., these policies have indeed caused many people to be dissatisfied, but this anger has not yet been vented. The core reason for the scale of this unrest is that Milley has added new policies.
According to the information obtained so far, Milley has extended the probationary period for workers stipulated in the law from the original 3 months to 8 months; shorten pregnancy leave; Repeal of the Tenancy Act, that is, liberalize the contents of the landlord's lease contract, completely ignoring the rights of the tenant. Especially after this policy came out, many landlords in Argentina began to impose additional terms and requirements on tenants, and there was a lot of noise for a while.
Personally, I feel that what Milley is doing now is almost completely one-sided and began to make concessions to capital, completely ignoring the life and death of the people at the bottom. To put it mildly, Milley's behavior is already pushing Argentina to a "dead end". At the end of his term, he naturally had a large amount of money to squander to "lead the way", but in the next Argentina, there will be no bricks left.
Interestingly, there are still many supporters in Argentina who have expectations for Milley's "shock**", believing that the debt, inflation, and social problems that Argentina is facing today are all temporary and must be experienced during the shock period. It would be nice to wait for the New Year.
In fact, the polarization of Argentina's social and political ** very vividly highlights the "voting system" induced by the West to follow the trend of the world. We have also mentioned in many past programs that although the majority wins over the minority, once the number of the two sides is close, it is easy to intensify social conflicts and cause social tears. For example, in Argentina, almost 40% of the people want to "save the country", while nearly 60% of the people feel that they can wait. This not only greatly weakens the upper limit of a nation's self-help, but also leaves a huge room for manipulation by external forces to interfere in its own internal affairs.
