Far-right populist Javier Milei rocked Argentina’s political establishment Sunday by emerging as the biggest vote-getter in primary elections to choose presidential candidates for the October general election in a nation battered by economic woes.
What many deemed impossible just months ago is reality: Right-wing populist Javier Milei resoundingly won Argentina's presidency. Once in office, he has said he will slash government spending, dollarize the economy and eliminate the Central Bank as well as key ministries, including those of health and education.
You know the old adage about politics: you campaign in poetry and you govern in prose. Introducing Argentina’s Javier Milei and even though the winner of Sunday’s presidential runoff did not wield a chainsaw like he did on the campaign trail, the free market absolutist did again promise in his acceptance speech Argentina’s answer to draining the swamp. How radical will he be?
The people of Argentina have spoken: TV celebrity-turned politician Javier Milei will be the next leader of South America's second-largest economy.
Economy Minister Sergio Massa surprisingly beat the eccentric far-right populist Javier Milei in the first round of Argentina's presidential election.
