The decision has led to plummeting approval ratings, strife within the Argentine government, and civic unrest in a country previously dominated by the Executive. With Argentina's congress close to a vote on the tax hike, The Takeaway talks with Paul Scheltus, a blogger and reporter covering the situation from Buenos Aires.
