“Javier Milei has won Argentina’s presidential elections in provisional results, wrenching his country to the right with a bombastic anti-establishment campaign that drew comparisons to that of former US President Donald Trump – all against the backdrop of one of the world’s highest inflation rates. His rival Sergio Massa conceded the run-off vote on Sunday evening in a brief speech even before official results were announced. … His campaign promise to dollarize Argentina, if enacted, is expected to thrust the country into new territory: no country of Argentina’s size has previously turned over the reins of its own monetary policy to Washington decisionmakers. … Milei, a social conservative with ties to the American right, opposes abortion rights and has called climate change a ‘lie of socialism.’ He has promised to slash government spending by closing Argentina’s ministries of culture, education, and diversity, and by eliminating public subsidies.” (11/19/23)
