Text by: Mathilde GUILLAUME | Richard SHPUNTOFF

The two-year-long economic crisis in Argentina has intensified in recent months, leaving even some middle-class families struggling to afford food. France 24 reports.

Inflation has topped 55 percent and 10 percent of the population has newly fallen below the poverty line this year. As government food aid to schools is growing more meagre, nearly 50 percent of Argentinian children are suffering from malnutrition and 30 percent of Argentinians overall.

In response, lawmakers have passed an emergency food law, which has yet to be taken up by the senate. In the meantime, food prices are rising dramatically. Bakeries are giving away their unsold goods and social organisations are working to meet the growing needs of the public. “We don’t manage to feed ourselves anymore,” Alejandro Ahmed, an unemployed restaurant worker told our reporters.

Wasn't Argentina at one time one of the wealthiest nations in all of South America? Confused

I lived in Chile for two years, albeit 26 years ago, and I was under the impression that Argentina shared similar levels of prosperity. There was poverty but not at these purported levels.

I lived in Argentina and Uruguay about 32 years ago and I was surprised at how high the standard of living was back then. There was poverty in the smaller towns in the country, but those in the cities were certainly not hurting.

One of my sons is living in Argentina. Crime is high there. Earlier this year his apartment was burgled; they took his clothes, even his deoderant.

While Argentina does have wealth, it has more poverty, as is the case throughout most of South America.

From top to bottom, South America is a continent sized testimony to the failures of socialism and right above it a shining example of capitalism. But this seems to go completely unnoticed by at least half of the idiots in America.
