Argentina is experiencing significant industrial and social upheaval as workers respond to President Javier Milei's austerity measures. The country's industrial output has plummeted to near pandemic lows, a direct consequence of these economic policies. In response, major trade unions have initiated a national transport strike, the second since Milei assumed office in December. This strike, described as a general strike against Milei's reforms, has effectively paralyzed daily life across the nation.
