Javier Milei, the resurrector of Argentina’s Freedom and Economy, has been elected President of the Argentine Republic in a landmark election. Milei's victory marks a turning point in Argentina's political landscape, as his far-right platform resonated with Argentinians living in Buenos Aires’s poorest neighborhoods. The election also serves as a referendum on Pope Francis, with Milei's victory seen as a challenge to the Pope's influence. Milei's desire to convert to Judaism, fervent support for Israel, and rhetorical invocations of Jewish eschatology have also garnered attention. The election outcome signals a shift in Argentina's political dynasty, with Peronism failing to address the concerns of informal workers and paving the way for Milei's rise to power. The opposition in Venezuela is also preparing to choose a candidate to end socialist rule after a quarter century. Santiago, Chile, has been in the spotlight as it hosts the Pan American Games, with American swimmers dominating the competition and achieving back-to-back podium finishes. The election in Argentina coincides with the Games, adding to the significance of the events taking place in South America.
Argentina goes to the polls today. ICYMI this essay by @FacundoMilman explores a surprising aspect of eccentric frontrunner Javier Milei: his desire to convert to Judaism, fervent support for Israel, and rhetorical invocations of Jewish eschatology. https://t.co/xWb2UqKAIy
