Argentina shuns meat as purchasing plummets under Milei

Argentina is experiencing a significant decline in meat consumption, with levels reaching an all-time low. According to France 24, this decrease is attributed to the drastic decline in purchasing power for most Argentines since Javier Milei took office.

The economic situation in Argentina is affecting daily life, with meat being a staple in the country's diet and culture. Barbecuing is a central ritual in Argentine national identity, but it appears that many can no longer afford it.

In other news, President Milei is set to lead Argentina Week in Paris, aiming to attract European investment. He will also meet with French President Emmanuel Macron. Meanwhile, tensions with the UK are escalating over an offshore oil project near the Falkland Islands, with Milei threatening legal action and sanctions if the project is not halted within two weeks, as reported by DW English.
