Milei is convinced that it’s necessary to take a hard line against the unions.

The administration remains at odds over teacher salary negotiations, although various officials admitted off the record that they understand they “must sit down to negotiate” and that, despite public criticism of the unions, they are aware they need to engage in a productive negotiation so kids can start going to school in March (Education is mostly public in Argentina).

Javier Milei is known for his staunch advocacy of free-market principles and limited government intervention in the economy.Furthermore, Milei is highly vocal about his disdain for traditional political establishments and mainstream economic orthodoxy. He frequently challenges conventional economic wisdom and advocates for radical reform to dismantle what he perceives as entrenched bureaucratic structures and vested interests.

Milei’s provocative rhetoric and unapologetic style have garnered significant attention, particularly among younger generations disenchanted with traditional political parties and ideologies.
