Javier Milei has reduced poverty in Argentina. This week brought the publication of a tranche of government poverty figures, covering the period from July to December last year. Much had been made of the immediate surge in poverty that occurred in Milei’s first six months in office. The fall – down to 38.1 percent from 41.7 percent in the same period last year, when the country was governed by the Perónists – would seem to be a vindication of the chainsaw-wielding libertarian and his policies.

In this article: Ride-hailing services have been in the UK for a number of years now, however, it’s not always clear which to go for. Two of the biggest in the UK are Bolt and Uber, and many of us face the dilemma of which to choose. Both Uber and Bolt are pre-booked taxi services (as opposed to taxis you hail down in the street), similar to other options such as Addison Lee or your local minicab firm.

The defining image of Javier Milei’s rapid rise to power in Argentina was his favourite campaign stunt: waving a chainsaw above his head and promising to crush the political elite. The garden tool served as a symbol of his libertarian, small-state ideology. The state is not the solution, he told delegates of the World Economic Forum; it is the problem. When Milei took office in December 2023, Argentina was in the grips of a deep economic crisis, with monthly inflation at 25 per cent.
