Less than two years ago, Argentina was a patient in a coma 4 state. A broken, plundered country, with no moral or economic pulse. The same people who led it to the abyss said there was no way out. Those who emptied the coffers, destroyed the currency, and turned politics into a business for the few, repeated like a mantra that "without the State there is no Nation." But Milei appeared. With him came the political will that the country had not known for decades. Today, the patient is getting out of bed. He breathes, walks, and produces. He is still weak, yes, but with a strength that no one imagined. What drives him is not an artificial respirator, but the conviction of a people who have begun to believe in themselves again.
But the fight is not over. The enemy is still there: the rotten system that for eight months has dreamed of seeing him intubated again. The same caste that enriched itself with the misery of others, those who cry "adjustment" from their air-conditioned offices, those who miss inflation because it was their business. All of them are still conspiring, disguised as defenders of the poor, but clinging to the privileges that the new government has taken from them.
For years, the word "reform" was taboo. Talking about lowering taxes was a sin. Adjusting the State, unthinkable. Cracking down on crime, fascism. Ending roadblocks, dictatorship. The progressive narrative made us believe that decline was social justice. That living on subsidies was a right. That poverty was a virtue. Milei broke all those taboos. In doing so, he also broke the mental barrier that kept Argentina chained to backwardness.
Change is real and the numbers prove it. In September, the trade balance posted a surplus of 921 million dollars. Exports grew 16.9% year-on-year. Oil production increased by 13.8%. Domestic meat consumption rose by 3.6%. Economic activity grew by 2.4%. Nearly 7,000 properties were registered in CABA, 35% more than last year. For the first time in a long time, mortgage credit exists again: more than 20% of transactions were made possible by loans. That is not a narrative. It is confidence.
Argentina stopped begging and started producing wealth. Proof of this is that the United States quadrupled the quota for importing beef from our country: 80,000 tons (176,370 pounds) representing more than 500 million dollars. We went from "giving away the glaciers" to selling more meat. From begging for dollars to generating them through work. From depending on the International Monetary Fund to regaining the world's credit. Miraculous, yes, but the miracle has a name and a surname.
