Kirchnerist Massa leads in Argentine elections and Milei falls short, but there will be a runoff
Argentina's presidential election results indicate a runoff between Kirchnerist Sergio Massa and libertarian Javier Milei, with Massa leading the first round. Massa, the current economy minister, mobilized a significant vote despite the country's economic crisis, while Milei's radical proposals may have limited his appeal. Patricia Bulrrich, the traditional right-wing candidate, was eliminated. The runoff on November 19 will determine whether Argentina continues with Kirchnerism or shifts towards Milei's radical economic and social policies.

Leap into the Unknown: What 'Libertarian with a Chainsaw' Milei Promises Argentinians
Javier Milei, leader of the 'La Libertad Avanza' coalition, won the Argentine presidential election with 55.6% of the vote, defeating the Peronist candidate. Milei, known for his ultra-liberal economic policies and socially conservative views, plans to reduce state intervention, privatize state companies, and dollarize the economy. His victory reflects widespread dissatisfaction with the ruling class amid high inflation and poverty. Critics, including historian Luis Kleiser, warn that Milei's policies could threaten democratic freedoms and human rights.

Reforms, Economic Crisis, and Governance: The Challenges of Milei's Presidency
Javier Milei, the newly elected libertarian president of Argentina, faces the challenge of addressing the country's severe economic crisis, with an annual inflation rate of 138% and nearly 40% poverty. Despite his lack of political experience and a minority in Congress, Milei plans to implement drastic structural changes, including controversial measures like dolarization and shutting down the Central Bank. His victory is attributed to the public's demand for change rather than specific support for him. Milei's governance strategy will likely involve seeking support from the center-right, particularly Mauricio Macri's PRO party. Internationally, Milei intends to break ties with communist countries like Brazil and China and align closer with the West, specifically the United States and Israel. The future of Argentina's involvement with the BRICS group remains uncertain as Milei has previously disagreed with joining.

Argentina heads to presidential primaries amid crippling economic crisis
Argentina is preparing for primary elections on August 13, which will serve as a precursor to the presidential election on October 22. The primaries aim to narrow down the presidential candidates, with a threshold of 1.5 percent of the total vote required to proceed. The country is currently facing a severe economic crisis, with high inflation and labor unions protesting in the streets. Key political figures include Buenos Aires Mayor Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, Economic Minister Sergio Massa, and lawmaker Javier Milei. Citizens like Mateo Abelenda and Emiliano Correia note a shift towards right-wing politics, drawing parallels with the rise of Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro. Amid economic concerns, some Argentines are contemplating voting for the least-worst option, with candidates like Martin Lousteau and Patricia Bullrich also in the mix. The upcoming elections are seen as potentially defining the next two decades for Argentina and the region.

Milei’s tenure: A toxic mix of Argentina’s youth despair and polarisation
Javier Milei's presidency in Argentina has sparked a mix of support and resistance, particularly among the youth. His far-right and libertarian policies, aimed at reducing public spending and challenging the welfare state, have attracted a youthful base disillusioned by the country's economic struggles. Despite pushback from unionized workers and social movements, supporters like Felipe, Agustín, and Octavio remain committed to Milei's vision of economic freedom and a reduced role for the state. The movement, La Libertad Avanza, reflects a diverse coalition with libertarian, neofascist, and nationalist-reactionary ideologies. The shift from the left-wing Kirchnerismo movement to Milei's right-wing libertarianism among young Argentines, particularly men, highlights a broader discontent with the political status quo and a desire for change.

The Argentine Congress validates Milei's veto on pension increases amid new protests
Javier Milei's government secured a political victory by maintaining a veto on pension reform in Argentina, despite protests and opposition. The veto, upheld by the Cámara de Diputados, prevents a law that would have increased pensions, citing fiscal concerns. The decision sparked protests in Buenos Aires, with demonstrators criticizing the government's economic policies and the use of force by security forces. The economic crisis in Argentina, marked by high inflation, exacerbates the situation for pensioners, many of whom receive minimal pensions.

What is in Javier Milei's sweeping Argentina reform bill?
Argentine President Javier Milei has introduced a comprehensive reform bill to Congress, aiming to overhaul the tax system, electoral law, and public debt management. Key proposals include privatizing public companies, introducing a 15% export tax, and raising export taxes on soy. The bill also seeks to amend the electoral system and grant temporary legislative powers to the presidency. Despite the ambitious agenda, Milei's coalition holds a minority in both legislative chambers, making the bill's passage uncertain. Opposition movements have already organized protests against the reforms.

Argentina Elections: What is the Environmental Agenda of the Candidates?
Argentina's presidential elections are set against a backdrop of economic crisis and environmental challenges, including a severe drought impacting agriculture. The article examines the environmental positions of the three main presidential candidates—Sergio Massa, Patricia Bullrich, and Javier Milei—based on their party platforms, campaign proposals, and debates. Massa and Bullrich acknowledge climate change and propose actions, while Milei's climate change denial alarms environmentalists. All candidates support the fossil fuel sector, particularly the Vaca Muerta oil and gas field, with varying degrees of commitment to renewable energy. The extraction of lithium for electric mobility is also a contentious issue, with environmental and indigenous community concerns. Agricultural proposals are less detailed, but Massa pledges to address deforestation. International commitments like the Paris Agreement are upheld by Massa and Bullrich, while Milei rejects the Agenda 2030. The elections, with potential implications for Argentina's environmental policies, are scheduled for October 22, with a possible second round on November 19.

Argentina halts the crazy messianism
In the recent Argentine elections, the moderate Peronist Sergio Massa emerged victorious over the far-right candidate Javier Milei, despite Milei's initial lead in the polls. Massa, the current Minister of Economy, promises a new era of unity and economic reform. Milei, known for his extreme and controversial views, still managed to secure 30% of the votes and will face Massa in a runoff on November 19. Patricia Bullrich, who came in third, has controversially urged her supporters to back Milei, causing a rift within her coalition. The upcoming battle for votes is expected to be intense, with significant implications for Argentina's future.

Blood, sweat, and tears: Javier Milei brings the far-right to power in Argentina
Javier Milei, a far-right politician and self-described anarcho-capitalist, assumes the presidency of Argentina with a promise to make deep public spending cuts to address a severe economic crisis. Facing an annual inflation rate of 143% and a poverty rate around 40%, Milei plans to implement a 'shock therapy' approach, including privatizations and significant reductions in public spending. Despite his radical campaign promises, such as dismantling the Central Bank and dollarizing the economy, some of his proposals have been moderated. Milei's political party, La Libertad Avanza, holds a minority in Congress, and he will face opposition from the outgoing Peronist party, now the largest force in opposition. The International Monetary Fund has emphasized the need for a strong and politically supported stabilization plan for Argentina.

The multiple plagiarisms of Javier Milei in his books and columns that Sergio Massa brought up in the debate
Javier Milei, an ultra-right presidential candidate in Argentina, has been accused of plagiarism on 19 occasions, primarily by Revista Noticias. The accusations include plagiarizing works from economists of the Austrian School of Economics, a Mexican physicist, a Spanish physicist, a lawyer from Madrid, a Venezuelan thesis, and even the International Monetary Fund. Milei's response to these allegations has been limited, and he has not provided formal replies. The plagiarism extends to his books on economics and his autobiography, where he copied passages from anarcho-capitalist economist Murray Rothbard and Argentine economist Alberto Benegas Lynch. The article also mentions the resignation of economist Roberto Cachanosky from ESEADE after Milei was awarded an honorary doctorate by the institution, citing the loss of academic seriousness due to Milei's proven plagiarism.
