Organizations have denounced that the government does not invest in food, not even being able to distribute the food it has in stock.

The Minister of Defense of Javier Milei's government in Argentina, Patricia Bullrich, is responsible for purchases of more than 12 million dollars in weapons and ammunition for the repressive forces of the southern country.

Two resolutions published this Thursday in the Official Gazette show that half of the purchase was directly in dollars and covers the acquisition of pistols, shotguns, patrol cars and 4×4 trucks for the federal forces.

Well sounds like he's being a good little comprador then

It's not a purchase, it's a rental.

Even better for the MIC profiteers, no?
