"When Javier Milei’s opponent in the 2023 Argentinian elections conceded
victory on Sunday night it was obvious that the maverick libertarian economist
was going to win big. And he did: once counting finished on Monday, Milei had
taken 56% compared to 44% for his opponent, former finance minister Sergio
Massa – in doing so he won the most votes in any election in Argentine history.
In the middle of a savage economic crisis in Argentina, with inflation running
at 143% (with forecasts it will rise above 200% by the end of the year) Latin
America’s third-largest economy is in “intensive care”.
To many of his supporters, Milei represents “
cambio” – change. But how much
he can present a clear alternative rather than an angry backlash to the
status-quo remains to be seen."
