He Decree of Necessity and Urgency that deregulates the Argentine economy, based on the repeal and modification of dozens of laws, was announced by the president Javier Milei on national chain. The television presentation had a strong impact on society that was manifested through social networks.
Both against and in favor of the government measure, network users expressed their point of view with humor and mischief, using the most synthetic graphic and virtual communication tool: the meme. Of course, some classic characters were not lacking in the use of these images.
The journalist from La Nación +, Carlos Pagnireposted in the story of his Instagram account a meme starring Bart Simpson. In the image of the first-born of the television family, he can be seen as blind, before “16 years of Kirchnerism”, and with a saucepan, before “10 days of Milei”.
Other memes, with a much more critical look at Javier Milei’s announcement, have the character of Matt Groening. Inspired by a classic episode of the animated series, Bart Simpson takes off a sweater to show a controversial message that is found on a t-shirt.

“55% right now” is another image that uses the world of the Simpsons. This time using gags with secondary characters from the series.
The past and present of President Javier Milei are part of the virtual humor. On the one hand, the presentation of General Ancap, the character personified by the economist, on the other, the president with the clothing used on the tour of Bahía Blanca.
With a more intellectual nod, a meme presents the Argentine reality by comparing it with four emblematic novels that deepen the dystopia.
Some memes use memories of the 2001 outbreak, with a certain cynicism and questionable taste; the symbolic helicopter used by Fernando De la Rua is part of the motto “The forces of heaven.”
Continuing the style of memes that recall the events of 20 years ago, former president Eduardo Duhalde is a recurring image to summarize any situation of social impact, in which it can be read as a possible weakening of a government that takes unpopular economic measures.
“This DNU is the tip of the iceberg, much more is coming,” government sources announced today to various media, therefore, memes and the situation are going to go hand in hand for a long time.
