Part 2/7:
Javier Milei, known for his audacious campaign strategies—including literally campaigning with a chainsaw—entered the presidency with a clear mandate to enact drastic changes. His government has been characterized by aggressive cuts to jobs, regulations, and public spending, leading many to initially underestimate his approach. However, recent data suggests that Milei's strategies may indeed have begun to yield results.
In a celebratory address marking a year in office, Milei declared victory over the recession, saying, "Today with pride and hope I can tell you that we have passed the test of fire. We are leaving the desert; the recession is over.” His optimistic announcement reflects a growing sense of hope among some sectors of the population.
