The pandemic leaves more new poor in Argentina

28.7 million new poor in Latin America is the sad estimate of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) for the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. As the deterioration of the economy of its citizens becomes more evident, the Argentine government is working on a plan that includes a proposal for universal basic income for the unemployed and informal workers that would help 17 million people, but how to finance almost 13,000 million dollars a year seems to be the great obstacle of this initiative in Congress.
