Javier Milei faces growing public backlash over economic adjustment
A national poll by QSocial of 1,323 respondents found that 50 % of Argentines say they can no longer wait for the government’s economic measures to improve their personal situation. 20 % would wait until the 2027 presidential election, 10 % until the end of this year and 8 % until mid‑2027. Only 16 % rate the current situation as good, 35 % as regular and 48 % as bad, while 31 % believe the country is better than in December 2023. 47 % expect the economy to be worse in a year, and the main concerns are work and poverty (21 % each), followed by corruption (19 %), inflation (11 %), insecurity (8 %) and justice (6 %). 61 % think the government cannot solve the main problems, versus 32 % who think it can. President Javier Milei defended his economic programme, stating that United States assistance amounted to US$2.5 billion – less than 5 % of the roughly US$70 billion total resources used to confront a “speculative attack”. He called claims that the United States “saved” Argentina “intellectually dishonest”. Milei also publicly defended former chief of staff Manuel Adorni, calling him “honest”.
