Argentina's controversial President, Javier Milei, has swiftly acted to implement laws promoting austerity, significant cutbacks, and granting exceptional powers to both the presidency and the security forces. In response, the opposition, still grappling with their defeat, has begun to mobilize in an effort to prevent what they perceive as a regression in people's and social rights. This mobilization has led to the initial scuffles and clashes between demonstrators and security forces on the streets. Meanwhile, inflation and poverty rates are on the rise, marking a challenging period for Milei's plans to 'make Argentina great again'.
