Trump-Admiring Populist Milei Wins in Argentina – The ‘First Lady’ is Pretty Naughty – IOTW Report

CNBC-

Argentina’s Javier Milei, a far-right (when do these shitweasels ever call someone far left?-bfh) political outsider often compared to former U.S. President Donald Trump, vowed to deliver on his radical economic policies shortly after winning the country’s presidential runoff.

Milei, whose term will run from Dec. 10 through to the end of 2027, staged a resounding win in Sunday’s vote by a wider-than-expected margin.

He received roughly 56% of the vote, according to provisional results, comfortably beating Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa, who conceded after receiving just over 44%.

Javier Milei, the next president of Argentina:

“You can’t give shit leftards an inch! We are so much better than them. We are defeating them in the culture war. We’re not only economically superior, we are morally superior and it triggers them!”

The shock result leaves Latin America’s third-largest economy in uncharted territory.

Proud libertarian Milei, 53, has previously described himself as an “anarcho capitalist” and at one point on the campaign trail even wielded a chainsaw to symbolize his intent to cut state spending.

Among some of his proposed policies, Milei has pledged to dollarize the economy, abolish the country’s central bank and privatize the pension system.

The ‘First Lady’ (his girlfriend)of Argentina is Fatima Florez . She is a famous Argentine comedian. Sadly, or happily, there are way too many explicit, shall we say pornographic, pictures of her on the internet.

“We have the determination to put the fiscal accounts in check. We have the determination to fix the problems of the central bank. We have the determination to put Argentina on its feet and move forward,” Milei said shortly after his victory, according to a translation.

“Today, we return to the path that made this country great,” he added.

The challenges facing Milei’s presidency are significant, however — particularly given that the country is once again in the grip of a profound economic crisis.

The purchasing power of the South American nation has been ravaged by an annual inflation rate of more than 140%, while 2 in 5 Argentines now live in poverty and key agricultural areas have been hit by a historic drought.
