Javier Milei, an anarcho-capitalist economist with a flamboyant style, has unexpectedly risen to become Argentina’s president-elect. Riding a wave of discontent over economic decline and inflation, Milei’s anti-establishment stance, pro-gun views, and abrasive rhetoric draw comparisons to figures like Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro. While vowing to replace the peso with the US dollar and cut public spending, Milei’s political positions, described as “anarcho-capitalist,” include opposition to abortion, skepticism on climate change, and advocating for the free sale of human organs. Analysts express uncertainty about his plans and potential challenges in implementing policy changes.
