Food emergency until 2022

From now on the social feeders will have a 50% increase in the budget. This reallocation of resources occurs after Congress voted in favor of the law that will last until 2022.

This approval is a coup of authority from Alberto Fernández, who is shaping up to become the next president of Argentina. However, although the law had the support of all the benches, on the outskirts of the congress there were intense days of protest against the economic crisis that the country is experiencing.

Macri never declared vetoing the law or opposing it. According to the opposition, it was the least it could do to subdue the Argentine economy. The dollar continues to rise, the IMF will not disburse the money until the next president is known and the proposal of the electoral campaign "zero poverty" moved away from reality a few months ago.

Poverty in the country stands at 32%, however, it is not far from the reality with which Macri found the country, since when he became president, Kirchnerism had the country in the same poverty figure.

However, Macri probably left the country with a very high dollar and that shot up after Alberto Fernández was shown as the next president of Argentina. The worsening of the crisis that began after the primaries forced Macri to break with economic orthodoxy.

The opposition constantly expresses to the press that what Macri wants most at this time is for his term to end.
