The chainsaw doesn't stop and Argentina grows again

Public spending is already at 2007 levels. In less than two years, the orgy of wastefulness that Kirchnerism applied for almost two decades was reversed. The chainsaw, far from being a symbolic gesture, became the surgical weapon that restored rationality to a state taken over by parasites. The chainsaw is infinite... because the looting was infinite.

Meanwhile, while the old politics weep over the cuts, reality shows something its activists will never acknowledge: wholesale inflation in October was 1.1%, accumulating only 21.3% for the year, when in October 2023 it climbed to 7.6%. It's not magic, it's not luck, it's not a narrative. It's fiscal discipline, it's the end of the racket for friends of those in power, it's the return to a country where the price doesn't depend on the whim of a bureaucrat but on the effort of the producer.

But it's not just fiscal order: the country is being rebuilt. Two companies will take charge of almost 700 kilometers (435 miles) of Mercosur routes, a crucial corridor for international trade. Public works stopped being the refuge of bribe-takers and fake notebook manufacturers, to become what it always should have been: infrastructure financed by private entities, without political mud, without kickbacks, without bags thrown around in convents.

On that same path, Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 announced an investment of more than USD 26 million to double the operational capacity of Córdoba airport. The opening of the skies not only brought more competition: it brought record passenger numbers, new routes, more companies, more jobs. Argentina, which was opening up to the world, took off again.

The real economy is also starting to breathe and consumers are making it known. The Consumer Confidence Index rose 8.8% in November, continuing the 6.3% increase in October. Mass consumption also grew by 3.2% month-on-month and 2.2% year-on-year, with surges in self-service stores (+6.9%) and e-commerce (+14%). The K narrative of "consumption is dead" is over. The consumer voted with their wallet and chose freedom.

The investment engine has also awakened: projects approved under the RIGI framework already total USD 25 billion, another USD 25 billion are pre-approved, and the total announced investments are around USD 100 billion. Argentina is once again fertile ground because the ground is no longer infested with thieves.

What happened to the sacred flags of progressivism? What we always knew: gender ideology doesn't save lives. Femicides fell to their lowest level since 2017, without a Ministry of Women, without inclusive language, without indoctrination, without bureaucracies hungry for budgets. This was achieved with equality before the law and a single moral premise: those who do wrong, pay. Period.

The transformation is also seen in the symbolic gestures a country decides to make. Argentina went from rewarding dictators like Maduro to honoring Andrea Bocelli, a global symbol of culture, merit, and solidarity. The mirror in which the country looks at itself changed: from authoritarian misery to the nobility of effort.

Ultimately, everything is summed up in a single phrase that today is a symbol, a slogan, and a battle cry: FREEDOM ADVANCES. Two years ago, Argentina elected the first liberal libertarian President in the history of humanity. In less than two years, that government fulfilled its promises, confronted the caste, demolished the status quo, and was ratified at the polls. Now comes the most challenging stage: second-generation reforms, those that will make Argentina great again.

This is not a time for the lukewarm. This is not a time for excuses. This is a time to accelerate. Because if anything is clear, it's that Argentina has changed forever.
