President Javier Milei won a landslide victory in the October 26, 2025, election. This election is a midterm election in Argentina. There are 257 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 72 seats in the Senate. Half of the Chamber of Deputies’ seats were up for election, as were one-third of the Senate’s seats. President Milei’s party scored 41.5% of the vote, increasing its share of seats in the House of Deputies from 37 to 101. Milei’s party increased its number of Senators from 6 to 20. This is a significant increase in power for President Milei. It is likely he will pursue his policy goals with continued vigor. President Milei admires the United States Constitution and the Second Amendment.
Newly elected President Javier Milei of Argentina is an admirer of the right to keep and bear arms, similar to the Second Amendment enshrined in the Constitution of the United States of America. Argentina has a vibrant gun culture nurtured by strong rural farming and cattle ranching roots.
In a bold move that has ignited fervent debate across Argentina, President Javier Milei has lowered the legal age for gun ownership from 21 to 18. This decision arrives amid rising crime rates and a palpable sense of insecurity within urban centers, particularly Buenos Aires, where citizens feel increasingly vulnerable to violence. Supporters of Milei’s initiative argue that greater access to firearms is essential for self-defense, especially in a country grappling with high poverty levels and a deteriorating judicial system.

Milei has had even better success in Argentina than Bolsonaro had in Brazil.
Brazil turned hard left with a great deal of election shenanigans with Chinese and Biden administration aid.
I think Brazil will change by osmosis. It won’t be just the success of Argentina and El Salvador. People will see the change and demand the same. Trumps actions are like an offer they can’t refuse-think of Trump putting the finishing touch on Iran’s nukes after Israel cleared the table. It’s a tidal wave building. Milei-Trump has his back. Others will be compelled to go with the program.
Cuba will be the big one to fall.
As Charles DeGaulle said, “Brazil is the country of the future, and always will be.”
Honest citizens may be armed. Bad guys WILL be armed. We know the drill.
He’s doing everything we should be doing...
The MSM and several Freepers tried to tell us Milei was in trouble.
im sure the 40 billion gift and copious amount of argentina porterhouse steaks helps
he is popular, his party isn’t. that’s why president trump helped.
Milei’s party increased their majorities in both their House and Senate. Both Milei and his party are popular. Milei and his government are an important front in the fight against socialism, which is why Trump is rightly supporting him.
The world needs more leaders like Milei, less like Starmer...and of course no more Putins Or Zelenskys.
