The Argentine people love President Javier Milei’s slash-and-burn tactics.
So much so that Milei’s party won bigly in the country’s midterms. From Fox News:
Milei’s party, La Libertad Avanza, won about 41.5% of the vote in Buenos Aires province, a historic upset in a region long dominated by the Peronist opposition. The rival coalition took 40.8%, according to figures cited by Reuters and The Associated Press.Nationwide, La Libertad Avanza increased its seats in the lower house from 37 to 64, positioning Milei to more easily defend his vetoes and executive decrees that have defined his economic agenda.”The result is better than even the most optimistic Milei supporters were hoping for,” Marcelo Garcia, director for the Americas at the risk-analysis firm Horizon Engage, said in comments reported by Reuters. “With this result, Milei will be able to easily defend his decrees and vetoes in Congress.”Political consultant Gustavo Cordoba told Reuters the outcome reflected a cautious optimism among voters who appear willing to give Milei’s economic policies more time.
When Milei won, he warned the people that his tactics would be painful and slow. Things would get worse before they get better. The libertarian way is literally slash and burn. You’re starting over.
