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?
Far-right Javier Milei swept to victory in Argentina's presidential election Sunday, vowing to halt decades of economic decline in a country reeling from triple-digit inflation. The self-described "anarcho-capitalist" is hoping to loosen gun laws and abolish women's right to abortion while planning to eliminate key ministries for health and education.
Populist Javier Milei resoundingly won Argentina's presidential election Sunday, swinging the country to the right following a fiercely polarised campaign in which he promised a dramatic shake-up to the state to deal with soaring inflation and rising poverty. Milei promised to implement drastic new policies including adopting the dollar as Argentina's official currency, closing down the central bank and slashing funding for a dozen ministries. Milei also wished to cut ties with China and Brazil, Argentina's top two trading partners, FRANCE 24's Jan Onoszko said, reporting from Buenos Aires.
