Argentine President Javier Milei has initiated a series of reforms and policies aimed at addressing the country's economic challenges and crime rates. Since taking office, Milei has implemented austerity measures, leading to deeper recession and increased precarity among poor households. In a move to combat crime, Milei has introduced policies similar to those of El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, targeting criminal gangs and drug traffickers with 'Bukele-style raids' in Rosario, following the appointment of Patricia Bullrich as security minister on December 1st. These efforts have been modeled after Bukele's successful reduction of homicides by 92% in El Salvador. Additionally, Milei has taken steps to address inflation, which remains one of the highest in the world at 171%/yr, by slowing the country's monthly inflation rate to 15.3% in February, down from a spike in December. Milei's administration has also canceled a decree that would have increased salaries for government officials by 48%, following criticism.
