In Argentina there is the opposite cycle compared to the UK. Now It is time to privatise the profits.

The real crucial point are the oil revenues. For decades the government paid for the painful work to create the infrastructure to exploit the oil reserves in the basin of the Vaca Muerta in Patagonia. Now the oil fields are going to produce and produce profits. That is when Milei enters the scenes and decideds to sell everything to the privates. This is the moment when the fight is at its peak because the sale date is approaching.
