I know he is a shithead but he has only been in office for three months. These are almost certainly still due to the last administration policies. Not saying he can't do worse though.

Yes and in those three months he managed to get the poverty up 13% which is really remarkable result only similar to when shock therapies were imposed on formerly socialist european countries after restitution of capitalism.

He has not really implemented anything that would do that. His Decree 70 is required to go through the legislature as far as I know. Can you tell me what he has put into place that would work towards that 13% poverty increase (something that was increasing drastically before he got into office)?

You didn't even read the article.
