I had to remind myself about Milei's policies.... I mean I know he's a hapless* Trump copycat** but I was thin on the details:

Milei advocates minimal government, focusing on administering justice and ensuring security, with a philosophy rooted in life, liberty, and property, and free market principles. He criticizes socialism and communism, advocating economic liberalization and restructuring of government ministries. He opposes Argentina's Central Bank and current taxation policies.
Economically, Milei is influenced by the Austrian school, and admires former President Carlos Menem's policies.

There we are. Austerity, the favorite cover-up for "just doing my rich donor buddies bidding". And unfortunately I don't even need to look up the Austrian school. And it ties back nicely to the movie you mention.

* Some time ago when the economy was already tanking he sang live in a rock band. The article was titled "Burning Down The House"

** TBF Trump did not invent Trumpism, he's just the most prominent


PS & BTW

Donkey (and horse) meat is a relatively common ingredient in e.g. Salami. Yes the economy is fucked up but people eating donkey meat is probably not the best indicator. And as someone else pointed out, the article talks about selling donkey meat in large cities, not the eating per se.
