The Spin

Left narrative

Milei's anti-worker regulations had to come under judicial scrutiny as they were passed without adherence to the legislative process. His big-bang reforms to deregulate the South American country's economy are unconstitutional, regressive, and hostile.

Right narrative

Pres. Milei has inherited a bankrupt country. Only his austerity measures can reduce public spending, control triple-digit inflation, and pull the Argentines out of poverty. If his reforms are halted, it could lead to an epic social collapse with far-reaching repercussions.
