For the New York Times, "Argentina's misery can bring populism back into the country"

"Macri has promised to reduce the monumental deficit of Argentina and reduce the size of the state," sums up the New York Times,
in an article devoted to the country's economic news in the context of the election year. "The problem is that the Argentineans have not yet taken advantage of the other aspect promised by the president: after the suffering of the austerity measures, an economic revival would occur," the newspaper adds.

The famous American newspaper sent a correspondent in the city of Laferrere, La Matanza and in other cities of the country, to document the most negative aspects of the local economic situation. "It's a neoliberal government, a government that is not on the side of the people," said Claudia Genovesi, a resident of Laferrere.

The economy shrinks, inflation rises and unemployment exceeds 9%, enumerates the middle. "A third of the population is poor and its numbers are increasing, the Macri government was supposed to leave populism behind, it now seems like it can bring it back to the country," he added.

Even those who benefited from his policy criticize the president, said the media, citing the example of farmers who "could breathe again" with the decrease in retentions, but who have trouble developing into because of rising costs in dollars.

The New York Times also cites the case of Flybondi, a company born and raised in macrismo, but also affected by the economic crisis. "If people can not pay their taxes, how can they travel by plane?", Told them Sebastian Pereira, director of the company.

"Time is not in Macri's favor and Argentines are angry and nostalgic for the past," the paper said. After a historical examination of the causes of the appearance of Peronism and Kirchnerism, the New York Times tells a harsh anecdote of the current reality. In the suburbs of Paraná, Entre Ríos, more than 6,000 families have settled near a municipal dump. They survive looking for leftover food and garbage in the trash. A picture of these families, looking for food in the trash, closes the article.
