    Do you think this could have something to do with the fact that China pressed hard for Argentina to join the BRICS+? I’m guessing that since Milei was adamant on getting Argentina out of the bloc he could be loosing some support in light of China’s “lobby”. Or maybe it is more due to the internal Argentinian politics (of which I haven’t followed closely)?

      I’ve heard rumours that China is kind of backing Massa, like being generous with the yuan swaps, but I don’t trust this narrative too much. Honestly I just think most people think he’s crazy and they don’t want to see something so shitty so they rather see the Peronists again. Milei did a terrible campaign after the PASO, he kept doing this shitty cartoon character and playing fool, insulted everyone, etc. Now he’s trying to act more normally and trying to form alliances with whomever.

      I don’t think mostly no one cares about the BRICS+ here, the general populace doesn’t even know what it is or how it could benefit us, and some who more or less know what it is, if they aren’t left wing, they don’t want to be there because “muhh socialism”.

        from what i heard, china offered to pay argentina’s debt for good, i don’t know the current state of affairs, if this is still going or if it was shoot down.

        one that happened tho, was that argetina received one billion dollars from a south american group that i forgot the name, where public and private entities participate in decision making, this detail is important bcz one btazilian news outlet said that lula was directly interfering with another countries election and when it got called out it doubled down on the lie
