Argentina presidential election: far-right libertarian Javier Milei wins after rival concedes
Javier Milei, a volatile far-right libertarian who has vowed to “exterminate” inflation and take a chainsaw to the state, has been elected president of Argentina, catapulting South America’s number two economy into an unpredictable and potentially turbulent future.
With nearly 90% of votes counted, the Mick Jagger impersonating TV celebrity-turned politician, who is often compared to Donald Trump, had secured nearly 56% of the vote compared to Massa’s 44.1%.
Milei’s rival, the centre-left finance minister Sergio Massa, conceded defeat in a press conference on Sunday night.
During his campaign, Milei – who will take office on 10 December – vowed to abolish the central bank and dollarise the economy in order to overcome a financial calamity that has left 40% of Argentina’s 45 million citizens in poverty and pushed inflation to more than 140%. “I know how to exterminate the cancer of inflation,” Milei proclaimed during last Sunday’s final presidential debate which most pundits believed Massa had won.

BREAKING:
A Zionist won the presidential election in Argentina
"Our geopolitical alignment is with the U.S. and Israel. We are not going to align with communists" - he once said.
What will he do now?
He will inflate the US-like foreign debt to the max and seal Argentina's fate.
Mentally ill Zionist Milei wins the Argentinian presidency pledging to dollarize the economy and break all relations with Argentina's main trading partners
RIP
