Argentina Poverty to Exceed 31% in H1 2026, 1.5M New Poor Under Milei

The data, reported by Chequeado, reflects the social impact of austerity measures, though exact figures depend on official INDEC releases. This underscores the human cost of economic stabilization policies and could fuel political opposition.
