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…
After years of tripping over their own feet Argentina opts to shoot itself in the dick because change.
Ok.
It’s a great country and Buenos Aires is a wonderful city but hoo boy this is … not likely to go well.
Desperate people resort to desperate measures when normal approaches fail. The ruling class forcing our countries to their bidding, against the interests of common people, are the cause for this.
Oh great, that NEVER backfired massively.
