Argentina’s libertarian President Javier Milei scored a surprise victory in Sunday’s midterm elections, bolstering his embattled reform drive. His La Libertad Avanza party won 40.84% of votes for Congress, far outpacing the opposition and marking a rebound for the US-backed right-winger after months of economic turmoil and political resistance.
Argentine President Javier Milei hailed his party's runaway victory in Sunday's midterm elections as a "turning point" for the country and vowed to charge ahead with his agenda of shrinking the state and deregulating the economy.
Milei's small La Libertad Avanza (LLA) party rebounded from a series of setbacks to win 40.84 percent of the votes cast for members of Congress, far outpacing the opposition in an election closely watched by jittery investors.
"Today we reached a turning point, today begins the construction of a great Argentina," the 55-year-old president told supporters at a victory party in Buenos Aires.
He promised to continue on the reform path with what he predicted would be "the most reformist Congress in Argentina's history."
US President Donald Trump, a close ally, congratulated Milei and said his Argentine counterpart was doing a "wonderful job!"
Half of the seats in the Chamber of Deputies and one-third of the Senate seats were up for grabs on Sunday.

Well, there is some good news. I am sure our democRATs would like to see Argentina returned to the old ways.
El Salvador and Argentina have real leaders.
The liberal media in the US already had their stories written - Milei crashes and burns at the polls as voters reject his “extreme right wing” economic policies. I guess they have to tear them up and write something else. Or ignore it. This really is good news. Voters are willing to stay the course in the face of economic disruption that comes with putting an economy back on track. A lesson that Republican politicians in the US should learn.
the MSM cabal tried but failed — and no, we’re not surprised by Milei’s landslide
As always, surprising to whom?
Surprising? Or just disappointing to the left-wing French press?
“El Salvador and Argentina have real leaders.”
Even more important are the people who elected those leaders.
Enough of them finally reached the point of enough is enough.
In most western countries life is still not miserable enough for most people to make a drastic but necessary change.
