Argentina's Milei to Declassify Documents on Nazi War Criminals Who Fled to Argentina | DW News
March 27, 2025 | Argentina's President Javier Milei says he is declassifying government documents on how Nazi war criminals escaped Europe and resettled in South America following World War Two. Historians believe as many as 5,000 Nazis evaded arrest in Argentina – sometimes with the help of the authorities.
The most prominent of them was Adolf Eichmann. Eichmann was one of the architects of the Holocaust and escaped to Argentina using false papers. Israeli agents captured him in Buenos Aires and took him to Jerusalem to stand trial. He found guilty and sentenced to death.

They Are Fuming at Javier Milei’s Cuts
I said from day 1 that Javier Milei’s anarcho-capitalism with his ridiculous, symbolic chainsaw is NOT what Argentina needs. It is no long-term solution. It’s all going to end in tears. Only the well-heeled will be spared the misery. The majority of Argentinians will descend into abject poverty. This is so hard for the majority of Argentinians, who have already suffered enough. Too much, actually. And now we can observe Elon Musk copy Milei’s policies in the USA. The Western world is going to hell in a handbasket. – © Mark Alexander

Argentina’s Economy in Crisis, Soup Kitchens Struggle after Government Spending Cuts
Javier Milei is another unfeeling, cruel clown who wants to “fix” the economy even if half of the population of Argentina has to starve to death for him to achieve his desired results! The secret of running a successful economy is to get good economic results with the minimum of hardship and suffering.
I recently watched a documentary on Milei’s anarcho-capitalistic policies and what Argentinians thought of them. It was very clear to me that the people who thought his policies were good were all well-heeled individuals living in beautiful homes. When the government’s policies have minimal impact on your lifestyle, it is easy to be uncritical of them. But for those who are dependent on assistance, for those who are suffering shortages, it’s a different story.
I said from the very start that this experiment will end in tears. I still believe it will. I stand by my original assessment. – © Mark Alexander

The Patagonian Bones | Welsh Settlers Documentary | Timeline
Feb 1, 2020 | Following the discovery in 1995 of a set of human remains in a coffin on the coast of Patagonia in Argentina, a team of scientists set out to find out if they belonged to the long-lost grave of Catherine Roberts, the first Welsh woman to die in Patagonia shortly after she arrived with the first group of settlers in 1865.
A first investigation of the DNA of the bones revealed that they belonged to a woman in her 40s of northern European origin, which matched Catherine. But to solve the mystery once and for all, they needed to find a descendant to compare the DNA. Enter Nia Olwen Ritchie, a fire fighter from present-day northern Wales who travelled to Argentina to donate her DNA and solve the mystery.

Argentina after One Year of President Milei | DW Documentary
Nov 19, 2024 | Is Javier Milei a savior or a destroyer? It’s been just over a year since the far-right, chainsaw-wielding 54-year-old was elected President of Argentina, and society is more divided than ever before.
Argentina’s poverty rate has soared to over 50% since Javier Milei took office. Many young voters opted for Milei because they wanted a radical break from the previous government. Many Argentinians in the business community are also hoping Milei's "shock therapy” will improve the economic situation - while others are stunned by the president's harsh reforms.
In his first year in office, Milei did not hold back, abolishing many ministries, scaling back publicly funded media and cutting many subsidies. We hear from both supporters and opponents of the president and his policies, including farmers, students, pensioners, trade unionists, journalists and entrepreneurs.

In Argentina's Poverty-hit Barrios, a Food Emergency Takes Hold | REUTERS
BEWARE! This short video is not for the faint-hearted! Brace yourselves!
My regular visitors will know that I said from day one that Javier Milei’s shock therapy would cause misery and hardship. Javier Milei’s anarcho-capitalism might be transforming for the economy, but at what cost? As I have said before, more than once, this experiment is going to end in tears. This is a CRUEL economic experiment. – © Mark Alexander
