In a seismic shift, economist Javier Milei, likened to Trump and Bolsonaro, clinched a surprising victory in Argentina’s presidential race, ousting the long-standing Peronist coalition. His win, with a decisive 56% against incumbent Sergio Massa, reflects public discontent with economic decline, marked by 143% inflation. Milei advocates abandoning the peso for the U.S. dollar, ‘dynamiting’ the Central Bank to combat inflation, and opposes abortion while challenging key alliances. Despite celebrations, concerns arise over potential clashes with welfare-dependent citizens and a looming $44 billion IMF debt. With a polarized nation, Milei’s challenges include a potentially tumultuous transition and a weakened position in Congress.
