Javier Milei Elected President of Argentina
Far-Right Outsider Wins Election
Buenos Aires, Argentina - December 18, 2023
Javier Gerardo Milei, a far-right politician and economist, has been elected President of Argentina. With almost all votes counted, Milei won close to 53% of the popular vote.
Milei's victory marks a significant shift in Argentine politics. The 53-year-old economist, nicknamed "El Loco" (The Crazy One), has no prior experience in elected office and has been a vocal critic of the country's political establishment.
Milei's election platform focused on economic reforms, including tax cuts and deregulation. He has also pledged to reduce government spending and fight corruption.
Milei's victory is likely to be met with both excitement and trepidation in Argentina. His supporters hope that he will be able to bring about meaningful change in the country, while his critics fear that his policies will exacerbate economic inequality and social unrest.
