Argentine President Javier Milei received the 'Lover of Israel' award in New York, vowing loyalty to Israel "until his dying day."

Back home, Argentina faces mounting economic turbulence: commerce, construction, and manufacturing sectors are collapsing. Unemployment is climbing, household debt delinquency is surging, and real wages for registered workers remain below November 2023 levels. The elderly are hit hard as minimum pensions lose purchasing power.

Critics accuse Milei of prioritizing foreign allegiances to Washington and Tel Aviv while ordinary Argentinians struggle with rising inequality and resource extraction by U.S. corporations.
