“Argentina's 2024–2025 macroeconomic stabilization program was based on a 'zero money issuance' (emisión cero) policy.”
Official BCRA and IMF materials describe the 2024–2025 stabilization program as anchored by “emisión cero,” meaning no net central-bank financing of the Treasury. That supports the claim that the program was based on such a policy. The main caveat is that the phrase was not a literal ban on all money creation, and fiscal consolidation was another key pillar.
“Stormwater drainage channels in Chilecito, La Rioja Province, Argentina are clogged with garbage, creating an imminent flood risk for families living in precarious settlements.”
Evidence strongly supports that drainage channels in Chilecito have been repeatedly reported as clogged with garbage and that nearby precarious settlements face flood danger. An INA study and multiple local reports link blockage to reduced drainage and higher exposure for vulnerable families. The main caveat is that “imminent” is stronger than the evidence shows: most sources describe a recurring or rainfall-triggered risk, not a formally measured immediate emergency.
