I really wish they would take the time to speak with people in the middle class and ask whether they truly feel better off under Milei. It’s troubling — wages haven’t kept up with the pace of these changes. And while headlines point to falling rents as a positive sign, for many middle-class families who rely on rental income to get by, it’s actually making things worse.
Basic necessities — food, transportation, utilities — are now significantly more expensive compared to what people are earning. It’s a harsh reality that’s not showing up in the stats.
Personally, I’m still not sure. I was never a supporter of the Kirchneristas — the corruption, the overspending — and maybe what we’re seeing now is the country finally paying the price for all of that. But even so, it’s hard to watch what’s happening. There’s a real human cost here that feels overlooked.
