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…
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.
I’m not saying it’s wise or right, just a natural consequence
And being anti-disestablisment has never caused or enabled very serious real world problems.
But it’s not even a desperate measure. It’s like, if you had terminal cancer, you wouldn’t drink bleach because you’re willing to try anything.
