I'm confused, is he doing exactly what he said he would do?

Primarily he betrayed his voters by reinstating taxes that were previously removed with his vote in the parliament, and took other measures that put the weight of the economy on middle and lower classes, while before he insisted many times that he would not further burden those classes, but higher classes instead.

He is trying to remove protectionist measures for land, water, fishing, mining industries.

All of this with mega decret and multiple articles law that still is being discussed by legislators.

He also formed his government with Mauricio Macri's officials which he widely criticized before for being a failure and ramping the country's debt by taking the historically biggest loan the IMF ever gave.
