Javier Milei was elected president of Argentina in 2023. A self-proclaimed anarcho-capitalist libertarian, Milei quickly hit the working class with extreme austerity. With inflation spiraling out of control, more and more Argentinian families are falling into extreme poverty. Milei is also an avowed Zionist. Host Polina Vasiliev spoke to Argentinian journalist and documentary filmmaker, Sebastian Salgado. You can follow his work at Data Urgente on YouTube.
