  The Economist, “After 100 brutal days, Javier Milei has markets believing”

  

  “We are genuinely very satisfied,” declared President Javier Milei of Argentina on local radio, after inflation in February fell by more than expected, to 13%. That, however, is the monthly figure.

  No more public radio, TV, and newsagency under Milei

  

  Argentina's President-elect Javier Milei announced Monday in a broadcast interview that he would privatize the state-run Public TV (TVP), National Radio, and the news service Télam because he did “not adhere to those practices of having a covert Ministry of Propaganda.” He also explained he had plans for the oil company YPF and flag carrier Aerolíneas Argentinas to no longer hinge financially on the national treasury.
