Mr Milei’s rival, economy minister Sergio Massa, called him to concede.
Former US President Donald Trump congratulated Mr Milei on his victory, saying he would “Make Argentina Great Again!”.
The election comes at a difficult time for Argentina with rising inflation and an economy in crisis on peoples’ minds.
Mr Milei’s proposals, which included detonating the central bank, won support with voters desperate for change…
Former US President Donald Trump congratulated Mr Milei on his victory, saying he would “Make Argentina Great Again!”.
I’d love to see where Trump thinks Argentina is on a map.
Argentina’s been so wrecked by the Peronists that this is the one place in the world where bringing in a “hard right” president may not be a bad thing. Milei probably doesn’t have the right personality, or enough backing in the legislature, to have a successful presidency. But the alternative was worse.
Just once I wish Argentina chose to not be a cautionary tale.
But since we’re here, Americans should watch this space very carefully during the next year or so.
And will the people who should learn from this do so? Fat fucking chance.
I feel like Americans know very well how this ends after living with Trump for 4 years… The ones that should’ve known better were the Argentinians.
Sure, fascism is totally a solution. Worked every time it’s been tried so far, right?
Humanity is so goddamn stupid
I’m astounded that people still aren’t aware that “right wing populist” means “your life will get harder”.
For Argentinians, always has been. Harder yet since 4 years ago
