Milei Faces New Phase Of Opposition On The Streets Of Argentina

July 25, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, BreakThrough News. , , ,
The World Cup did not pacify the unions, students, and opponents of Milei’s government in Argentina. They continued their mobilizations against the administration’s radical neoliberal austerity plan even while the country was competing in the World Cup finals. On the other hand, the administration did take advantage of this football frenzy to quietly approve oil exploration by a foreign company and sought Senate approval to increase the amount of land that foreigners can own in Argentina. This radical neoliberal agenda has been steadily advancing since the start of Milei’s term in December 2023.

The State Workers Association (ATE) of Argentina began a nationwide strike across the country in protest against far-right President Javier Milei’s austerity policies. On Tuesday, April 21, the workers blocked the airports of Bariloche and El Calafate, and held a demonstration outside Jorge Newbery Aeropark in Buenos Aires. Workers are demanding the immediate launch of wage negotiations following a loss of more than 44% of purchasing power during the Milei administration, ATE General Secretary Rodolfo Aguiar said.

Trump’s Allies To Gather In Miami For ‘Shield Of The Americas’ Summit

March 6, 2026 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
As the United States and Israel wage war against the peoples of Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, and the peoples of the region, the Trump administration seeks to secure its dominance in the Americas. On March 7 in Doral, Florida (part of the Miami metropolitan area), the Trump administration will host a summit entitled “Shield of the Americas”. Although its organizers claim that the summit seeks to strengthen ties between the US and the rest of the countries in the region, it appears that powerful countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil will not be in attendance. The participation of Venezuela, Uruguay, Guatemala, and Nicaragua has also not been confirmed.

Argentina Paralyzed By National Strike Against Milei’s Labor Reform

February 21, 2026 Otto Fors, Left Voice. , , , ,
On February 19, workers, students, and retirees paralyzed Argentina in a national strike against President Javier Milei’s labor law reform. It marked the fourth national strike since the far-right government took power in 2023, and came on the heels of massive mobilizations against the reactionary, anti-worker bill.  The bill, which passed the Chamber of Deputies on Friday, restricts workers’ right to organize and makes it easier to lay employees off, while extending the workday to 12 hours, eliminating overtime, and reducing sick leave. It also reduces employer contribution to the national pension fund.

Milei Launches ‘Isaac Accords’ To Expand Israeli Influence

November 30, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Argentinian President Javier Milei formally launched the Isaac Accords on 29 November, a new initiative aimed at strengthening political, economic, and cultural cooperation between Israel and Latin America. Milei announced the initiative following a meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, who visited Buenos Aires on Saturday as part of a regional diplomatic tour. The Isaac Accords are being promoted in partnership with Washington and are modeled after the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab countries, including the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco.

Why Trump Is Bailing Out Argentina’s Libertarian Leader

October 25, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
The Trump administration is talking about using $40 billion to bail out a foreign country: Argentina. So why is Trump abandoning his so-called “America First” stance to help a foreign leader? And who exactly is Argentina’s president Javier Milei, whose nickname is the “madman”, who calls himself an “anarcho-capitalist”, and who was the inspiration for Elon Musk’s federal cuts — and chainsaw stunts. This is a story that involves election meddling, brutal anti-worker austerity, economic crisis, corrupt corporate payouts, and, of course, crypto scams. Trump has bet a lot on Milei. The right-wing Argentine president is one of Trump’s closest allies on Earth. They have a lot of similarities.

Milei’s Chainsaw Economics Met With Working Class Unity

June 9, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
Tens of thousands of Argentines took to the streets of the country’s capital, Buenos Aires, June 4 to demand an immediate change in the ultra-neoliberal policies of President Javier Milei. The mobilization took place outside the National Congress, which was discussing a potential increase in pensions for retirees. Last year, Milei vetoed a pension increase that was approved by the Congress. This time, the legislature approved an increase of nearly 7% in pensions, which now must be approved by the Senate. However, Milei has already warned that the “demagogic and populist” decision, will be vetoed once again because it threatens the government’s much-touted goal of “fiscal balance”, pursued even at the cost of rising poverty, denying people with disabilities access to medicines, and defunding pediatric hospitals.

Argentina’s Worker Co-ops Under Attack

May 15, 2025 Josh Davis, Grassroots Economic Organizing. , , ,
There was some extremely troubling news out of Argentina last week. On March 28th, the Melei administration Presidential Spokesman Manuel Adorni announced that the government would be suspending all worker co-ops created between 2020 and 2022 and auditing all those formed last year. While this official statement was quickly gainsayed by other government agencies, what had happened was just as bad: the National Institute of Associativism and Social Economy (INAES) – the agency responsible for registering co-ops – had voted to suspend 11,000 co-ops for lack of documentation and other alleged non-compliance.

Argentinian Unions Hold General Strike After Retirees Protest

April 12, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
On Thursday, the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), Argentina’s largest labor union federation, called for a 24-hour general strike to protest President Javier Milei’s austerity policies. The strike, supported by the Argentinian Workers’ Central Union (CTA) and 50 nationally significant unions, demands better wage conditions in response to the ongoing economic crisis. The wave of protests began on Wednesday, with several unions joining a demonstration led by retirees who have been protesting weekly for years in front of Congress, demanding improved conditions.

Solidarity With Argentine People Against The Fascist Government

March 15, 2025 Resumen English. , , , , ,
We, the social organizations of the Alba-Movimientos., strongly condemn the brutal repression unleashed by the government of Javier Milei and his Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich against pensioners, football fans and social organizations that mobilized peacefully to reject the neoliberal austerity to which the government of La Libertad Avanza is subjecting the Argentine people. The excessive use of force, with tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon, resulted in 114 people being illegally detained — including children — 20 people being injured and the photographer Pablo Grillo being seriously injured after being hit in the head by a tear gas canister.

Javier Milei Deepens Argentina’s IMF Debt Trap With ‘Emergency’ Loan

March 10, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , ,
Argentina’s President Javier Milei is a self-declared libertarian and “anarcho-capitalist” who has completely subordinated his country to the United States. In a previous article, Geopolitical Economy Report showed how Argentina’s real economy is in severe crisis under Milei. 53% of the population is in poverty, and manufacturing and construction are collapsing amid rapid deindustrialization. However, the stock market has boomed, enriching Milei’s oligarch backers — although even the financial sector took a hit after Milei promoted a crypto scam that caused thousands of his own supporters to lose millions of dollars.

Health Workers, Patients, Activists Unite Against Milei’s Healthcare Cuts

March 1, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
Over 100 workers’ collectives, health groups, and organizations mobilized across Argentina on Thursday, February 27, in protest against President Javier Milei’s devastating policies. A central march took place in Buenos Aires, denouncing the purposeful underfunding of the health system, deteriorating working conditions, and pressures on public hospitals. Among the demonstrators were health workers, patients, and the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo. “Health is a fundamental human right, and defending it is the responsibility of all society,” organizers declared ahead of the protest.

Javier Milei Is Destroying Argentina’s Economy

February 28, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , , ,
Argentina is governed by a right-wing libertarian named Javier Milei. He proudly identifies as an “anarcho-capitalist”. His career has been cultivated by powerful billionaire oligarchs, such as Eduardo Eurnekián, who employed Milei and several of his cabinet members. Milei has also enjoyed the support of US billionaires like Elon Musk and Silicon Valley oligarch Peter Thiel. US President Donald Trump considers Milei to be an obedient ally. When he campaigned for president in 2023, Milei embraced the nickname “el loco” (the madman). He brought a chainsaw to rallies, pledging to cut government down to the bone.

Milei’s Attacks On LGBTQ+ Community Spark Call For National Mobilization

February 5, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
Argentine movements, unions, LGBTQ+ organizations, and political groups have joined together to call nationwide anti-fascist and anti-racist protests on Saturday February 1 in response to Javier Milei’s repeated attacks on the Argentine people. In his speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Davos last week, Milei launched sweeping attacks on progressive ideas like feminism, environmentalism, and what he calls “gender identity,” and praised far-right leaders Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Viktor Orbán, and Giorgia Meloni. He also defended his harsh economic austerity policies, despite their impact on Argentina’s poorest communities.

Ni Una Menos Is ‘Building A New Generation Of Militancy’

December 10, 2024 Marta Facchini Irupé Tentorio, il manifesto global. , , , , , ,
The rise of Ni Una Menos marks a before and after in the history of Argentine. The movement against sexist violence, established in 2015, changed the history of Argentine feminism and showed the rise of the transfeminist masses as a political subject. In nearly 10 years of struggle, the movement shone a spotlight on all forms of violence against women and dissident subjectivities through protesters’ bodies occupying the streets, marching and organizing assemblies in working-class neighborhoods and universities. It has named femicides in plain language and made them impossible to sweep under the rug.
