Argentine politics surprises once again: in an unexpected turn, Milei’s ruling party managed to rebuild its strength and consolidate a new hegemony despite the wear of its administration and internal crises.
This prolonged election year coexists with growing concern about the course of a democracy that faces a deterioration of the political consensus on which it has been based.
Milei has established a model of unconditional alignment with the “Western world”, in particular with the United States and Israel, which is consolidated with the request to join NATO.
Javier Milei has inaugurated a new political stage in which he proposes to make a fresh start on the assumptions on which the democratic process was based since 1983, in particular, and Argentine politics in the last century in general.
Javier Milei, obtained more than seven million votes, which represents 30% of the votes that made him the most voted candidate in the primary elections.
One of the conclusions that can be drawn is that political protest seems to have two channels of expression: electoral abstention or the candidate Javier Milei.
