Argentine libertarian Milei pledges new political era after election win

Milei is pledging economic shock therapy, including shutting the central bank, ditching the peso and slashing spending. His challenges will be enormous: Empty coffers, a $44 billion debt program with the IMF, 150% inflation and more.

Maybe I need to put Argentina on the list.

This guy looks like he lives on coke and acid.

I'd vote for him.

 

[spat]

I imagine there is a large entrenched bureaucracy that is not going to die easily.

He better start slashing and burning it with reckless abandon if he wants to make any progress.

Wonder how he'll react when Biden goes hat in hand, begging for oil.

Cry no more for Argentina — it’s about to be a new model for economic reform

I hope this guy has a good security team.

Argentina? In the news, wow, guess there's a need for more deflection from Uncle Joe's ruinous policies and economy destroying a nation...

Honestly, couldn't give a Shyt about what's happening in Argentina!!!

It seems that anyone who wants to change things but is reasonable ultimately gets coopted/assimilated/bought off by the entrenched powers that be. Therefore only someone truly off the wall can get elected. Will he be a good leader? I have no idea but a guy that uses that type of language in public doesn't sound like he's all that stable. Hoping for the best for Argentina.

Who knows, Argentina could be the last "Free Country" that everyone runs off to once the NY and CA scum manage to push their crap federally.

Only for those who cut and run! Never in a million years - Argentina!

But for the record, I'm leaving NY behind, not running fast enough! Had enough here, but after spending my entire life here, I deserve a break from the bullshit! I do understand escape therefore...

As for the Federal push...? Well, just get away from the progressive strongholds and you'll see a return to normality! Like the majority of States now having Constitutional Carry or similar. Because the media wants to promote an agenda, doesn't mean that's what things are or the way they are!

But Argentina... Yeah, that's a hard pass!

This should be interesting. He apparently wants to get back on the dollar until he can transition the country to crypto. Argentina was just accepted into BRICS plus so Xi is a little annoyed at the moment. Lets see how this plays out. That country has 40+ billion double digit interest loans coming due soon from the IMF, which if you've been paying attention, requires borrowing nations have a western friendly installed govt. I wonder if Xi uses the NDB as leverage to erase those loans.

Looks like John Belushi really turned his career around.

Little Trump's are popping up all over the world I see. I wish Argentina the best but I can't help but think the deep state is going to ruin him just they do to anyone who wants meaningful change here.

If you're going to do it, then do it: exterminate every fucking one of the shit-weasels or they're going to in-mass gang up to take you out... that was Trump's biggest mistake, one that other Presidents didn't make: summarily dismissing all Leadership appointed by the previous Administration, in fact it's expected to occur...Do you really need to ask why?

This will be interesting. He wants to eliminate their central bank.

Argentina's Milei says shutting central bank a 'non-negotiable matter'

Argentina's President-elect Javier Milei said on Friday that the closure of the country's central bank, a signature campaign pledge, was a "non-negotiable matter", according to a statement from his office posted on social media platform X. The comments, in response to what he called "false...

I'd say this guy better watch his back. The powers that be in this country do not want a successful elimination of the central bank. It would spark a similar effort here. Milei will have hit squads from both this country and Argentina putting him in their sights.
