Mr Milei’s rival, economy minister Sergio Massa, called him to concede.
Former US President Donald Trump congratulated Mr Milei on his victory, saying he would “Make Argentina Great Again!”.
The election comes at a difficult time for Argentina with rising inflation and an economy in crisis on peoples’ minds.
Mr Milei’s proposals, which included detonating the central bank, won support with voters desperate for change…
Just once I wish Argentina chose to not be a cautionary tale.
But since we’re here, Americans should watch this space very carefully during the next year or so.
I feel like Americans know very well how this ends after living with Trump for 4 years… The ones that should’ve known better were the Argentinians.
And will the people who should learn from this do so? Fat fucking chance.
