00:00:00 - 00:05:00

Javier Milei, a 53-year-old economist and anarchocapitalist, was announced as the new president of Argentina in the YouTube video, having won the second round of elections with 55.7% of the votes against Sergio Massa's 44.3%. Known for his controversial ideas, such as dollarizing the economy , eliminating the central bank, and drastically reducing the size of the government through cuts and privatization, Milei's election marks a departure from traditional Argentine politics. He gained popularity through television appearances and attracted young voters, particularly from the Generation Z demographic. Milei's plans for security include a "zero tolerance" policy against crime and the militarization of prisons. However, challenges for Milei include the lack of a majority in Congress and the need for a significant reserve of US dollars to dollarize the economy, which has recently reached a 17-year low. In the weeks leading up to the second round, Milei softened his tone on some of his more extreme positions, and all eyes are now on his choice for the Economy portfolio in his government.
