Last trimester of 2023 poverty was 44.8% and first trimester of 2024 with the new government poverty is 55.5% on the rise[1]. That is 10.7% increase of poverty in 4 months, or 2,6% increase in poverty every month of the new government. I don’t completely blame the new government for the rapid increase in poverty but austerity measures such as firing people working in the public sector and reducing social assistance contributed a lot.
