Argentine lawmakers have approved a sweeping package of cost-cutting measures proposed by the country’s libertarian President Javier Milei. The fine print of the bill is still subject to debate and approval.

Food prices have shot up by nearly 50% since libertarian President Javier Milei began his economic "shock treatment."

Protests were led by labor unions, describing a controversial economic reform decree as "unconstitutional." Milei signed the decree last week, which would upend Argentina's economic regulations.

Argentina will weaken its peso by more than 50% to 800 per dollar, cut energy subsidies and cancel public works tenders as part of an economic shock therapy aimed at fixing the South American country's worst crisis in decades.

Right-wing populist Javier Milei has won Argentina's presidency on the promise of reviving the country's struggling economy. His critics worry about what his extreme new policies may mean for Argentine society and democracy.

As Argentina gets ready to vote for a new president, over 40 percent of its population live under the poverty line as their budgets are squeezed by triple digit inflation. The two candidates running for president – far-right libertarian outsider Javier Milei and ruling Peronist economy minister Sergio Massa – are offering radically different solutions.
