Skyrocketing inflation has pushed the poverty rate in Argentina above 45%. The situation is expected to get worse as the president implements a set of drastic measures to tackle rising prices. Al Jazeera’s Teresa Bo reports from Santiago del Estero.

Adding:

The new Argentine president Javier Milei has issued new orders to security forces in regards to protests.

➡️Anti Milei people are saying that this is a total crackdown on civil society, calling on armed forces to break strikes, arrest protestors, “protect” children from families that bring them to demonstrations, and form a new national registry of all agitating organisations.

➡️While the pro-Milei crowd is saying the above is not true, that just protesters blocking roads will face a crack down.

🐻 A slippery slope for Argentina for sure...
