Once you get past the aesthetics, the similarities between Milei and MAGA mostly vanish.Javier Milei, the self-described classical liberal and anarcho-capitalist who won Argentina's presidential election on Sunday, campaigned with a brash message of slashing government programs, cutting taxes, and privatizing state-owned enterprises. Whether he'll be able to accomplish any or all of that prodigious list of economic reforms—or his even bigger promise to fix Argentina's busted monetary system and curb the country's runaway inflation—will depend on how much support Milei can muster in the legislature and his willingness to follow through on these big campaign trail promises. Those are...

The Washington Post threw a temper tantrum over “far-right economist” Javier Milei sending a shockwave throughout the world with his victorious presidential bid against leftist Economy Minister Sergio Massa in Argentina. The Post attempted to denigrate Argentina’s president-elect as a “Trump-like radical” with “no governing experience” who rode a “wave of voter rage” to victory with 56 percent of the vote. The rag characterized Milei’s win as a “stunning upset” over Massa, “the center-left economy minister who has struggled to resolve the country’s worst economic crisis in two decades.” Oh, who knew that voters didn’t want to reward the government...

Javier Milei, a messy-haired bombastic libertarian economist, won Argentina’s presidential elections against socialist minister of economics Sergio Massa this Sunday.

In a brief speech before the results were announced, Massa, who came first in the October 22 election that led to the run-off, said, “Milei is the...

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Populist Javier Milei resoundingly won Argentina's presidential election Sunday, swinging the country to the right following a fiercely polarized campaign in which he promised a dramatic shake-up to the state to deal with soaring inflation and rising poverty. With 99.4% of votes tallied in the presidential runoff, Milei had 55.7% and Economy Minister Sergio Massa 44.3%, according to Argentina's electoral authority. It is the widest victory margin in a presidential race since the South American country's return to democracy in 1983. In the streets of Buenos Aires, drivers honked their horns and many took to...

Argentina has never had a Jewish president. But that concept could move a step closer to reality after a general election in October. That’s because on Sunday, the leading vote-getter in national primary elections was Javier Milei, a libertarian who wants to convert Argentina’s currency to the US dollar and has made headlines for controversial comments on hot-button topics ranging from climate change to sex education. He also wants to convert to Judaism. In an interview with Spain’s El Pais last month, Milei said he is considering conversion. One of the obstacles getting in the way: observing Shabbat. “If I’m...

Argentinians go to the polls today, and one can only hope that conservative/libertarian candidate Javier Milei wins Argentina's presidency in a knockout, with enough votes to win free and clear without having to go to a runoff in November. We all know the reason why: His rabid, determined, enemies will have that much less time to plot against him. It might happen. But it's a nailbiter.

Far-right populist Javier Milei rocked Argentina’s political establishment Sunday by emerging as the biggest vote-getter in primary elections to choose presidential candidates for the October general election in a nation battered by economic woes. Milei, an admirer of former U.S. President Donald Trump, says Argentina’s Central Bank should be abolished, thinks climate change is a lie, characterizes sex education as a ploy to destroy the family, believes the sale of human organs should be legal and wants to make it easier to own handguns. Votes were still being counted late Sunday, but analysts agreed that the upstart candidate who gained...

After bringing crime, corruption and 116% inflation, Argentina's ruling Peronist leftists held elections, beginning with yesterday's all-party primary. They didn't like what happened next. According to Reuters:BUENOS AIRES, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Argentine voters punished the country's two main political forces in a primary election on Sunday, pushing a rock-singing libertarian outsider candidate into first place in a huge shake-up in the race towards presidential elections in October.With some 90% of ballots counted, far-right libertarian economist Javier Milei had 30.5% of the vote, far higher than predicted, with the main conservative opposition bloc behind on 28% and the ruling Peronist...

@LPNational "Libertarians can't win when they're bold and uncompromising," they said. "The central bank is a scam. It is a mechanism by which politicans cheat people through the inflationary tax." - @JMilei, libertarian victor of Argentina's first presidential round.

Argentina's outsider presidential aspirant, Javier Milei, is a rare breed — a hirsute 52-year-old libertarian economist with a hatred of all things authoritarian, including China’s ruling Communist Party, and a penchant for tantric sex. And he just placed first in his country’s presidential primary contest. “One of the biggest thieves in the history of humankind is the Central Bank,” Milei told the Buenos Aires Times earlier this week. “We should try to get out of the blinders that the statist indoctrination imposed on us.” It’s a battle cry to warm the hearts of the most committed old supporter of Ron...

BUENOS AIRES, Oct 19 (Reuters) - With wild hair and brash sideburns - and sometimes a chainsaw - Argentine libertarian economist Javier Milei has become the stand-out image of the South American country's presidential election and made himself the candidate to beat. A dark horse outsider until just months ago, the 52-year-old former rock musician and "shock jock" pundit sent shockwaves through the political arena by coming top in an August open primary and is now polling in first place ahead of the Sunday vote. An aggressive and colorful campaign, ranging from pledging to "burn down" the central bank to...
