Argentina's President Javier Milei Gains Momentum
Argentina has given its president, Javier Milei, the ability to turn his reformist agenda into law, something he lacked since day one.
After two years of governing with less than 15% of congressional support, the libertarian firebrand won a surprising midterm landslide.
- Milei's La Libertad Avanza (LLA) and its allies in the centre-right coalition took around 40% of the lower chamber.
- They also gained a third of the Senate.
The chainsaw got him this far.
While still short of a majority, Milei is now strong enough to negotiate and pursue his mandate, but he must move beyond theatrics and build alliances.
Author's summary: Milei gains momentum in Argentina's government.
