Argentina’s economic crisis has led to widespread poverty, affecting over half of the population. Soup kitchens, essential to many struggling families, are facing shortages after the government halted a food distribution program in December as part of a major cost cutting effort. President Javier Milei is being urged to reinstate the program to address the urgent needs of the country’s most vulnerable citizens. The situation is deteriorating, with many families relying solely on soup kitchens for their meals. Inflation, high unemployment, and budget cuts continue to exacerbate the hardship.

allot of idiots in this world now. instead of attacking the poor woman with a family, how about criticizing the root of the problem🤦♂️ even with no kids, she’d be starving herself
honestly, the amount of ppl who lack cognitive skills to critically analyze and think is astounding. probably never even heard of the those terms 😒
@@AgatBro It’s easier to feed 1 person than 6 🤨
Messi should help poor people with his massive 54 million salary per year.
Maybe poor people should help themselves first, and stop making babies if they are chronically unemployed.
Messi doesn’t owe anything to anybody.
@@strangelylookingperson Messi was helped by those who recognized his talent and those that gave him a place to play. Its very rare for a person to climb the ladder alone.
@@alileevil And I’m sure he will be able to decide for himself to whom he should give money.
@@strangelylookingperson Ofc. No one can make Messi do anything lol. I was just pointing out that we all owe some of our success to other people
@@strangelylookingpersonare you stupid?
Of course, and the useless, 65 IQ goblina just KEEPS BREEDING, even though she can’t feed her already massive brood. Let nature correct itself, problem solved. Geez.
Javier Milei will make Argentina great again
Child abusers are the parents, having a 6th baby when you cant afford 5
That’s how the right wing governs
The whole world needs good leaders. Enlightened ones who love their country above all. So sad for Argentina!
Hahaahaha they voted massively for that zionist junky madman, Millie, the worst is yet to come, brace yourselves.
That’s 20 year of the socialist in my country. President Milei is fixing the macro economy with sussess and in next year the country will be better off. This inform is another lie from Ajazira like all theirs lies around the world like Gaza for example.
It was already in CRISIS prior to that. Don’t try and hide it blaming the new government.
Milei is a puppet ..for the rich only
How about the pope comes in on this one? He’s Argentinian.
This is what the socialist democrat party wants to bring to the US.
“Socialist Democratic Party”. Lol. What’s that party? 😂
And dear,snap out of this: there are people already starving in the US.
All that mess they were talking about how white they are and how they’re better than other Latinos. Well, we’re not starving in Mexico.
Mexicans send money from US. If things were great in Mexico why cross the border to get a job ? The entire continent south of Rio Grande is in bad shape. Probably a lot has to do with US, MMF and World bank.
43% de mexico esta en pobreza xD estan iguales amigo
Definitely this lady doesn’t look like she has been suffering from lack of nutrition, I have been watching some soup kitchens in Argentina and every single one of them looks at the people who are working in those restaurants, are very well nutrition and doesn’t suffer from lack of nutrients
Whatever. It’s improving daily under Millei
Que pena me da mirar a la gente con hambre en Argentina un país que a Sido tan próspero. Le llamaron Argentina porque otro nombre de la plata es argetium.
Quienes son los latinos? Para entender quienes son, tiene que ver con tener descendencia de los países de origen de cada idiomas conocidos como lenguas romances y a estas lenguas romances se les conoce como lenguas latinas también porque estos idiomas tienen mucho latín. Eran como 30 lenguas latinas pero con el tiempo se an ido perdiendo. Las lengua latinas de hoy en día son el español, el francés, el italiano, el portugués, y el el romaniano. También el catalán y algunos otros de los cuales no menciono porque muy pocas personas los hablan. En las Américas los latinos somos aquellos que son descendientes de el país de origen de cada idioma. La mayoría en las Américas son latinos por su descendencia de España y descendencia de Portugal. No tiene que ver con que la persona hable el cierto idioma ya sea español y portugués. Tiene que tener descendencia de los países de donde se originó el idioma. Algo importante es que entre los latinos debemos estar unidos y siempre acordarnos que los latinos somos UNO.
@@RobertB-bm5cn ¿Y olvidar los 300 años de virreinato?
Argentina invested millions into its Soccer Federation.
They’re finding out the hard way that a World Cup title doesn’t feed its people.
they feel happy anyways have menssi also a world cup..who cares….that’s the problem of this ppl they arrogance is more stronger than their empty stomach..that’s the story of this ppl nothing will change..the poorest country in america
Has Milei tried the measures on himself first?
“Welcome to America”. Happiest Place on Earth” Your newly Central heated furnished five bedroom house is ready there’s BMW or MBz in driveway in your choice of colors additionally for the next 5 years have choice of $5,000 to $10,000 monthly welcoming new immigrants government payments depending on size of your family with plenty of money to send back home.
Don’t worry about working because everything is automated with A.I we just watch a lot of football and play video games and Clubbing every night..
P.S. please just don’t drink Bud Light.,
“Bienvenido a América”. El lugar más feliz del mundo” Su casa recién amueblada de cinco habitaciones está lista, hay un BMW o MBz en el camino de entrada en su elección de colores, además, durante los próximos 5 años, puede elegir entre $ 5,000 y $ 10,000 mensuales para dar la bienvenida a nuevos inmigrantes, pagos del gobierno dependiendo del tamaño de su familia, con mucho de dinero para enviar a casa.
No te preocupes por trabajar porque todo está automatizado con IA. Solo miramos mucho fútbol, jugamos videojuegos y salimos de discotecas todas las noches.
PD Por favor, simplemente no bebas Bud Light…
“Hey commie!” **Crashes economy**
Macri Milei son muerte de país
That woman needs to stop putting her legs up and start getting her money up
Milei hizo una reforma demasiado abrupta en tiempo demasiado corto. Ahora la mayoría de la gente pasa dificultades, excepto aquellos que están en en gobierno y los ricos o de clase media alta.
After years of socialism, 💩💩. Now is the chance to start growing again, Milei 👏👏👏👏
another brain dead individual this is an example of how the psycological plan of Milei has affected individuals like you A walking program with the inability to have critical thought processes….
Jojojojaujauauajaua😂😂😂😂😂
Naaaaa!!!!
El colmo!!!
Where are the Chinese? They are supposed to help these people
In Argentina we have the worst economists and fmi programs.
This is Kamala wants for us in the US
Milei is a sadic, sick sick puppy, cruel cruel sociopath! it has to End!
For over 30 yrs. argentina align itself to China and enjoy china Cheap goods not knowing that they being rob by China😅😅Thailand and Indonesia are next in china list
They only care about football soccer, that’s one of the main cancers of Argentinean society!
they are poor.. and they keep making babies..lol
Not all of them having so many kids in reality Argentinas reproduction rate is declining year for there are at 2,187 there are the same level like the USA in 2009 had the same rate.
It’s now getting very bad desperate in Hawaii , California, & Nevada also 😢
It’s not as if people in the Argentinan populace haven’t been suffering for decades under previous governments. Hope he can break the cycle and get Argentina back on track
@@williamlloyd3769
Argentina es pobre porque sudamerica es el patio trasero de EEUU. I am sorry… son los malos de la película. Después ponen a políticos títeres, como este payaso, lo adornaron los imbéciles lo votaron y ahora pueden saquear libremente desde el agua, el litio…y no se que más. Bye
Those poverty numbers had been artificially held up by government subsides. Now everyone knows the true extent and their actual financial position.
What happened to working and feeding your own kids?
They have to go down this rabbit hold they get rid of the black race in this country
Messi help them
“5 children “
This is a consequence of decades of government mismanagement, and Milei is righting the wrongs of fiscal and monetary mismanagement.
The woman in the still is Bolivian. We don’t care about them. If she doesn’t like Argentina, the doors are open for her to leave. Nobody invited her here.
This Arab narrator makes you believe that the video represents the average Argentine person.
Not even 1% of the population goes to these “kitchens”, and the people shown there are illegal immigrants from neighbour countries.
Good bye globalization! They can returno to Bolivia, Chile and Peru!
Decades of reckless government spending cause soup kitchens.
@@RalphIrvine 😔
Won’t be fixed fast and harsh measures are necessary. It’s coming to the US folks, we can just get in more debt than Argentina
Also anyone in a soup kitchen pregnant with 5 kids hasn’t figured out the answer to life yet. Maybe stop having kids you can’t feed.
If they don’t rein in the spending and programs they will keep going down. Same as America it just takes longer for us to hit bottom
no worries
they have best football team
watching football games make you full
La libertad 💀💀💀
El león 🦁 es un farsante 😂
Una broma de mal gusto ja
How come these folk in so called “ soup kitchens” are almost all fat ? …..Gente gorda 😛🇦🇷😉
Because unhealthy foods are so cheap and the only available option for poor people
MILEI ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gj Milei
Soup kitchens aren’t funded by the national goverment, they are funded by provincial ones. That lady at the beggining should ask the governor who she very likely voted for help, but Kicillof is happier raising taxes and giving millions to media companies to attack Milei 24/7… kind of like this channel. Or ask the leaders of social organizations for some of the money they stole.
FAKE NEWS.
PROPAGANDA NETWORK.
Teresa porque no decís como venia la cosa antes…
Melie just got it. I’d be very suspicious if he turned it around in months
Argentina has been facing crisis for decades, remembering that the country has been managed for left wing presidents for many years. And now the journalists are blaming Milei for everything just because he is from right wing.
Best wishes from your friends in Scotland 👍🏴
Oh Argentina still believe in the words of your presidents speech that I will make Argentina better a great place to live and raise your I don’t know 6 or 7 or 8 children in a country where they can become football players and live in a foreign country not having to worry about the desperation of his nation but as long as he brings that World Cup home everything should be fine
You can invest in social programs or business programs but you can’t ignore both.
At least they have european blood
But they have 3 world cups.
Miley is a crazy US puppet
He did say it would get worse before it will get better, sadly mismanagement in Argentina by the government over the last 30 years has destroyed the economy.
It takes time to build a country back from essentially a ruined state, cuts needed to happen, but hopefully this all works out.
Don’t cry for me Argentina maybe you should ask reparations from Germany in the Nazis
USA and israhell one pull this happen
East, west, north and south all countries I. Chaos and falling apart.
Muita fé, Hermanos.
soup kitchen are syndicates.
Unfortunately a strict and harsh economic reform and austerity measures are necessary to bring the country back into productivity again. And there will always be winners and losers on any government actions, it is what it is. It’s for the good for all Argentines.
If lady can’t feed the 4 children she has why is she pregnant with #5??????
The world is feeling the pinch we have people working hard every day going to good banks!
Respeten al campeón del mundo che 👃
Oh Al Jazeera, master of subtlety as always. Just a tiny suggestion—maybe try toning down the obvious slant in your headlines. It’s getting harder and harder to pretend you’re not towing a government-funded editorial line. Almost feels like you’re not even trying to hide it anymore!
Lets hope that milei is able to overcome the legacy of this poisonous socialism as quickly as possible, so the free market economy can produce wealth for everyone.
😮Milei…decadence president😮🇦🇷
Yes yes, have more children sheep 😂.
Trying to fix the damage done by the socialist takes time
are they white or not
How does Argentina get out of its terrible situation without changing the financial structure of the country?
Don’t worry. Due to austerity measures, people in Argentina will soon stop having kids. Just look at Greece. Also, get ready for mass migration from yet another failed Latin country.
send trump to argentina,, he can fix ANYTHING according to him,,
As they say, things are bound to get worse before they get better. Sounds like Argentines are still getting used to the withdrawal phase (less subsidies, less social services).
Thanks, Obama
The amount of morons in the comment section saying that poor people should not have kids is mind-blowing. Are you people from a different planet or just ignorant?
I stopped watching at the lady with 5 kids. I’m a leftist but that kind of thing i can’t accept.
I believe in personal responsibility.
This is all lies. The only thing Milei cut were useless government jobs. This is propaganda by the opposition in Argentina.
This is coming to America.
Cuanta copas tenes? 😂
¿ Podremos los argentinos soportar o vendrá otro golpe de Estado ? ¿ Ya entrevistaron a los militares ?
FMI blood suckers,,,make agreement with the Argentina Macri and friends🇦🇷 mafia,.. .they took loans,money dessapear,,,,
Now people is begging for soup.
This is what happens when Europeans run a brown country, they suck it dry for their own benefit, foreign investment only helps whites
Don’t have kids if your this broke
Decades of marxist governments
This people got addicted with socialism
Why aren’t stars like Messi helping to supply those Food Kitchens
It reminds me that we westerners gave up the stars because some politicians wanted the vote of the people on the dole
they dont work they demand money leechees
Great people the Argentinians proud hard working , my heart goes out to the needy that’s tough. I would love to visit one day
