🇦🇷 🚨 ARGENTINA INAUGURATING JAVIER MILIE AS NEW PRESIDENT SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10TH

Argentina, which has experienced three defaults in recent years and lives with inflation of 185%, is preparing on Sunday for the inauguration of a new president, Javier Miley, who is remembered by voters for his promises to pull the country out of the crisis.

The Libertarian economist-turned-politician promised to convert Argentina to dollars, cut public sector spending, carry out large-scale privatization, and remove restrictions on foreign trade.

In foreign policy, Miley intends to focus on the West, not wanting close rapprochement with BRICS. Moreover, the leaders of the United States and Israel will not even come to his inauguration.

Experts interviewed by RIA Novosti are skeptical about the prospects for the implementation of these promises, believing that the politician will have to reconsider his radical views taking into account realities:

▫️ While Miley’s foreign policy rather resembles “confusion,” the understanding will soon come that there is a harsh economic reality.

▫️ a course towards rapprochement with the United States will not bring economic benefits to Argentina: everything that Argentina supplies to the world market is supplied by the United States itself.

▫️In foreign policy, priorities may be revised in the medium term, because Brazil and China (both BRICS countries) are key trading partners.

▫️The new president does not have a majority in parliament, he will have to negotiate and compromise.

▫️ Reduction of ministries may result in an unbearable burden for the budget due to the payment of compensation to officials.

Hi! Just wanna raise some awareness here because South America is on fucking fire and I need to see more people talking about this.

Source: RSOE EDIS x

Im just going to talk about the ones i'm closest to, but if you know about these fires, feel free to add in the reblogs!

Chile

In Chile there's (up to Feb 5) 160 wild fires, of which 40 are still trying to be controlled by authorities. The president, Gabriel Boric, has declared State of Emergency in the whole country, and theres a Red Alert Code in most part of the country.

Isla de Chiloé, Southern Chile (900 km away from Santiago de Chile)

This is a (recently controlled) fire that lasted a week, but many neighborhoods were burnt to the ground.

The whole South is in red alert for constant sudden fires that spread quickly due to the lack of rain and the elevated temperatues in the zone. Just today, two fires had to be controlled in the main land next to this island, and more are being reported in the Los Lagos region. This is added to the "controlled" intentional fires that farmers make to clean their fields of old crops along the Central-South parts of the country, mostly surrunding the main route, Ruta 5, that connects the whole country, thus making it hard to see and breathe because of the smoke. (flashnews, most of them get out of control quickly.)

Valparaiso/Viña del Mar, Central Chile (100 km away from Santiago de Chile)

A fire that started on Friday 2nd and grew exponentially because of the wind and the dry, hot climate. More than 100 people are dead, with 70 unrecognized bodies and other 400 that have dissapeared. At least 30000 people that have lost everything to the fire.

There's massive evacuations from this and the neighboring city, Viña Del Mar.

This is said to be the second most deadly fire in the century, surpased by Australia in 2009.

45000+ hectares that include land and neighborhoods have been burnt down.

I could go on about this one, so more info here and here

Argentina

Parque Los Alerces (Esquel), Chubut

The fire strarted on the 25th January, and the climate has made it hard to contain. 3000 hectares of native forest have been burnt to teh ground. It is now growing in the direction of the nearest city, Esquel. Theres been evacuations between yesterday and today (4 and 5th Febuary)

Parque Nahuel Huapi (Bariloche), Río Negro

The reason why im writing this. The city woke up today covered in smoke after a wildfire developed yesterday during the night. The reason? A fireplace that was not turned off in a place where people cannot disembark and can only be reached via boats.

As of now, there's not much information about the fire but hopefully the firefighters will be able to contain it before it reaches Tronador Mountain, where an ancient glaciar is.

...which leads me to the other point i wanted to talk about.

Firefighters

They volunteer to do this job.

In Argentina and Chile, firefighting is not rewarded with a salary, and most of the times they dont even have full firehouses to stay in. These people are at their houses, ready to jump into action and run to the station the second the alarm goes off.

They are neighbors, people that risk their lives and run into danger willingly, just because they want to help the community.

I felt the need to give a shout-out to these people and say:

Don't be a fucking dick, don't start fires in the woods unless it's an approved place, and if you do, TURN IT OFF.

Pour abundant water on it, and do not stop when you don't see any more flames.

Keep pouring water until the ashes don't burn/feel like room temperature in your hand if you put it 10 cm away from it, and even then, pour some more just to be sure.

No heat and no smoke mean a safely extinguished fire.

Save lives and forests.

Happy birthday to Javier Millie, one of our strongest allies. 🎉🍾🎂❤️

So uh, hey, USA.

I don't live there but, y'know, your country has a bit of an impact worldwide, so.

The assassination attempt on Trump will just fire up the right-wing conservatives, especially after the whole immunity thing that happened recently.

And since voting is somehow optional there, I just wanted to share a reminder:

Voting is both a right and a duty. Make yourselves heard.

Since December it seems that here in Argentina we are living in a movie, look at this.

I'm praying this ends with the president decapitated. :)

I don't believe a word out of Liam's ex-girlfriend's mouth, any longer. She is too involved in this, with the timing of her book, which would give a ready excuse for calling the singer's death a suicide.

The people behind this think they're Gods. They're nothing but lowlife thugs.
