The General Confederation of Labor (CGT by its Spanish initials) is marching alongside several unions and social movements towards the national courthouse building in Tribunales, downtown Buenos Aires City, to protest the mega-decree announced by President Javier Milei last week. The Popular Economy Workers Union (UTEP), Unidad Piquetera, left-wing parties, social organizations, and other unions — such as Buenos Aires healthcare workers unions — also came out in support. Other lawsuits and protection writs (known as amparo in Spanish) from many quarters have been filed since the mega-decree was revealed. The officers ordered for it to be driven to a bus terminal in Buenos Aires city and then taken away. “We have no money and no food.”You may also be interested in: Long live freedom (but not to protest)

Argentina’s supermarkets and convenience stores will apply a 20% discount to 20 basic basket products for 60 days, starting on Wednesday. Prices have risen steadily since President Javier Milei’s government devalued the peso by 54%, with consulting firm Ecolatina projecting that December inflation will be 25%. A survey by the Herald’s sister publication Ámbito Financiero estimated that prices in supermarkets have increased by 29.5% since the inauguration. He described price controls and regulations — such as the previous government’s Precios Justos (Fair Prices) agreement — as “an aberration.” Milei’s new price agreement program is called Precios Diferenciados (Differentiated Prices). It also includes personal care products such as toilet paper and soap as well as household cleaning products like bleach, paper towels, and detergent.

President Javier Milei terminated state employment contracts of under a year in a decree published on Tuesday. The move, previously outlined in the government’s economic austerity measures, will affect thousands of state workers hired under temporary contracts between January 1st and December 31st, 2023. In Argentina, it is common for some public employees to be hired under temporary contracts, which are often renewed yearly. In another decree, Milei also extended the application of a 2022 decree that freezes national public administration contracts and appointments, which will now be effective until December 2024. The measures apply to national public administration and public entities such as the Federal Administration of Public Income (AFIP in Spanish) and the National Cinema and Audiovisual Arts Institute (INCAA).

Javier Milei said in a television interview on Saturday that tech mogul Elon Musk, the United States government and US companies are “extremely interested in lithium,” seemingly favoring Tesla’s CEO and foreign companies over Argentine provinces in the development of the country’s key strategic resource. “Argentina needs a legal framework that respects the right to property,” Milei said during the dinner show with iconic television host Mirtha Legrand. Lithium carbonate (LCE) is the essential raw material for the batteries of Tesla electric cars, one of Musk’s flagship companies. The relationship between Javier Milei and Elon Musk began when the libertarian began to profile himself as a presidential candidate and started to exchange compliments with the South African-born magnate through his social network X (formerly Twitter). Señor presidente: el litio no es ni de Elon Musk, ni de EEUU, ni de las empresas "interesadas".

Argentina’s 2022 World Cup triumph was a nation-wide effort. This isn’t a new phenomenon in itself, but it took a new dimension during the last World Cup. For example, I worked on Scaloni for a long time, and another group started working on Messi’s leg when we noticed he was in pain. There was some negativity, people who thought we were claiming credit over the World Cup results, but that was never our goal. What happened after the World Cup?

President Javier Milei issued a mega presidential decree of necessity and urgency on Wednesday night, declaring an economic, financial, fiscal, social, and administrative “emergency” in Argentina. The DNU limits workers’ right to strike or protest for more favorable conditions. The DNU separately modifies the Associations Law and Sports Law, which would allow football clubs to become private sports corporations. The decree lifts restrictions preventing these companies from increasing interest rates by more than 3% monthly and applying exorbitant fees for delays in payment.

“Now you can enter into contracts in foreign currencies, and they must be fulfilled the same way,” he said, referring to the decree. Milei said on Thursday that he would not immediately eliminate the restrictions, collectively known as the cepo — Spanish for “clamp”. Multiple elements of Milei’s decree point to a de facto dollarization, particularly in contracts. Foreign Minister Diana Mondino went further and pointed out that contracts could be agreed in cryptocurrency after the decree goes into effect. “We ratify and confirm in Argentina, contracts can be agreed in Bitcoin,” she said on X (formerly Twitter).
