Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

On December 10, the far-right controversial Javier Milei will take office as Argentine President, with 55.69% of the votes obtained after the second round of elections. Vice-President Victoria Villarruel. Participation was higher than in the first round, 76.37%, but the second lowest in history (76.2% in 2007); in Argentina it is mandatory to vote. Since the end of the dictatorship, the ultra-right has been victorious for the first time, and the leader of La Libertad Progreso will rule the country for the next four years “anarchist and libertarian”.

Milei competes with peronist Sergio Massa and imposes 11 points of advantage. Massa is a candidate for the Unión Por La Patria and current minister of economy, and, with 44.30% of the votes, accepts the failure by saying that it has been “an unexpected result” (the polls considered it winner). He explains that his political career has closed a stage in the election night, and stresses that Argentina has a strong democratic system that approves the results.

Milei says she will deliver on her promises and make radical changes: “The end of the Argentine decline begins.” In the words of the ultraderechist, “there will be no room for intermediate, temperate, or progressive changes.” The country is in the midst of the economic crisis, with inflation of 140%, and Milei has proposed numerous measures during the campaign (dollarization of the currency, among others) and pledges voters to reverse the situation. The Ultraneoliberal programme also announces the adoption of measures to reduce human rights, such as the abolition of the abortion law that has been achieved after long mobilization.

Macri's support for governing

Many of Milei’s statements and behaviors have aroused controversy in recent weeks, but it has achieved broad electoral support. Mauricio Macri and Patricia Bullrich, right-wing candidates, who remained outside the presidential competition, have had the essential support. They both publicly asked their voters to vote far-right, and that has been the case. Milei will need the help of former President Macri in the new government, which has no far-right majority in parliament (only 35 of the 350 Members have Freedom moving forward), and will have difficulty sending out without the support of 94 members of the party Together for The Change of Macri. Agreement is expected between the two, but it remains to be seen what changes will be able to implement the far-right.
