In just a few days at the end of May, the Argentine crack erupted again with all its harshness. On one side, Javier Milei showcasing hard data and irrefutable images of an economy that is starting to breathe: packed shopping malls, restaurants with lines, investments of 8 billion dollars, and a Minister Caputo canceling debt while the country risk collapses. On the other, the Kirchnerist chorus crying over a “depressed consumption” that only exists in their heads and in the paid tweets of K trolls.
This is the true narrative of Argentina in 2026: a President who does not apologize for defending freedom and a Peronism that, sunk in its moral and intellectual decay, can only resort to the toxic nostalgia of Cristina Kirchner. While Milei travels, negotiates, and puts the country on the international map, those who looted the reserves for decades now shout “traitor” because on July 4th he prefers to rub shoulders with the world's leading power rather than honor the local mediocrity of the previous July 9th. Pathetic.
The numbers do not lie, even if it hurts the left. Inflation continues to fall, reserves are strengthening, and international investors are starting to believe in an Argentina that no longer steals, does not regulate, nor expropriates. Milei made it clear in his unmistakable style: the recovery has already begun. And the images of crowded shopping malls are the perfect slap in the face to the militant journalists and Peronist leaders who keep repeating like parrots the mantra of “brutal adjustment” and “impoverished people.” The people, those they claim to represent, are voting with their wallets and going out to consume where there was previously not even enough for bread.
Meanwhile, Axel Kicillof continues to parade his book and his victimhood through friendly television studios, trying to sell the idea that the “Milei Risk” is worse than the default risk they left behind. Cristina, from her bunker, feeds her militants with chants of “Cristina 2027” and “Cristina in La Rosada.” They dream. Collective delirium of a movement that does not understand that the country has already changed. Kirchnerism is a political corpse that still moves some muscles out of clientelistic inertia and irrational hatred of liberalism.
