Result falls short of giving Milei a congressional majority but surprises many analysts after series of scandals
The party of Argentina’s far-right president, Javier Milei, has won Sunday’s midterm elections after a campaign in which Donald Trump announced a $40bn bailout for the country and made continued aid conditional on the victory of his Argentinian counterpart.
With more than 95% of ballots counted, La Libertad Avanza secured 40.84% of the nationwide vote, in an election widely seen as a de facto referendum on the self-styled anarcho-capitalist’s nearly two years in power. The Peronist opposition, Fuerza Patria, secured 31.67%.
While the result falls short of giving Milei a congressional majority – which remains with the Peronists – it has surprised Argentinian analysts, given the recent blows to the libertarian’s popularity from corruption allegations involving his sister to the current economic crisis.
You have a lot of learning to do.
Libertarianism isn’t a local ideology, it’s a far-right ideology that has its misaligned roots in anarchy.
They love to call it anarcho capitalism and usually fail to see the contradiction.
Maybe look into different ideologies and how they are set up on the political spectrum.
