“Milei’s climate denialism and ‘chainsaw policies’ combined with the outdated EU-Mercosur trade deal is a recipe for disaster. The EU-Mercosur deal is based on a text from 25 years ago and totally out of sync with the reality of the climate crises we face today. ‘Mileinomics’ coupled with the EU-Mercosur deal could cause critical ecological spillovers globally, as it will further threaten South America’s second-largest forest, the Chaco forest, also one of the planet’s largest carbon sinks”, said Audrey Changoe, Trade and Investment Policy Coordinator at CAN Europe.
Milei’s so-called “libertarian experiment”, or ‘Mileinomics’, for radical free-market reforms combined with the outdated EU-Mercosur deal are a recipe for economic disaster. It is rooted in a neo-colonial economic model that created the social-ecological crisis in the first place.
