Argentine President Javier Milei, who ran for office with the slogan 'I didn't come here to lead lambs, but to awaken lions', has sparked controversy with his radical libertarian policies and his recent speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. In his speech, Milei exclaimed 'LONG LIVE F**KING FREEDOM', a sentiment that has been echoed by his supporters. His administration's austerity measures have led to over 7,000 state employees being laid off, prompting Argentina's largest union to organize a 12-hour general strike on January 24th. This strike is a major challenge to Milei's presidency, which is less than two months old. The Economist has questioned whether Milei's approach to governance is beneficial for Argentina's economy, while others have praised his commitment to freedom and economic reform.
