Collective — 2026-03-14T17:43:16Z

“It's the workers of the hospital that know best how to run it. Of course, there are different ideas but we have the experience of working together. That's where the health team comes together to figure out how best to care for the patient and involve the family in a discussion.”

China and the IMF, supported by BRICS+, provided a lifeline to Javier Milei's far-right government in Argentina

Éric Toussaint — 2025-10-07T16:14:25Z

In September 2025, after having presided over the country since December 2023, the neo-fascist Javier Milei suffered an electoral defeat in an important vote. The result was the election in the province of Buenos Aires. This election renewed 46 seats in the provincial Chamber of Deputies and 23 in the provincial Senate. The Peronist opposition beat Milei's party by 13 points and holds a majority in the Buenos Aires Provincial Senate. The capital province represents about 37-38% of the national electorate. The provincial elections in Buenos Aires always serve as a major test at the national level, including for Javier Milei this year.

Mobilisations in Argentina: Brief considerations on the current political turmoil

Eduardo Lucita — 2025-07-01T05:17:00Z

“Everything is moving toward the eventual establishment of a new political regime in the country. Massive and sustained popular mobilisation is what can put a stop to this reactionary process, but this must not sideline the national midterm elections next October, which are also a decisive arena for struggle.”

After many months without a significant opposition movement to the government of President Javier Milei on the streets of Argentina, the 36-hour cross-industry strike of 9-10 April and the social reality of the country have brought the movement back to life.

Argentina: Milei, the crypto-presidential scam and the crisis of legitimacy

Nicolas Menna — 2025-03-07T07:57:38Z

On 14 February 2025, Argentine president Javier Milei used his Twitter/X account to promote $LIBRA, a recently created cryptocurrency. The tweet - immediately relayed by his sister Karina (Secretary General of the Presidency and a key figure in “La Libertad Avanza”, the presidential party) as well as an army of ‘influencers' close to the government - helped propel the digital asset.

Argentina: ‘Anti-fascist and anti-racist pride' against Milei

Fabrice Thomas — 2025-02-19T10:24:17Z

On Saturday 1 February, huge demonstrations took place across Argentina in response to President Javier Milei's speech at the Davos forum the previous week. In a half-hour speech to the cream of the capitalist world, Milei, in a significant mimicry of Trump, unrolled the catalogue of his hatreds: feminists, ‘wokism', gay couples (whom he accused of paedophilia), progressivism, the left and ‘leftists' (who must be ‘driven out'). Hundreds of thousands of people across the country rose up not only against Milei and his ideology, but to assert their determination to fight for all democratic and social rights and to stop the wave of fascism sweeping the world.

The ultra-right governs Argentina: The end of an epoch?

Adrián Piva — 2024-08-09T13:23:25Z

On the evening of November 19, 2023, when official data from the presidential runoff in Argentina confirmed the victory of Javier Milei, the candidate of “La libertad adelantado” (Liberty Advances or LLA), many activists and intellectuals of the left and progressivism woke up to a reality that we had tried to deny or that we had not been able to understand. For this reason, the attempt to reach explanations, reasons and hypotheses for this unthinkable event must be, at the same time, an exercise in revising the categories and characterisations we made of Argentine social and political reality in previous years.
