Millions of disaffected voters in Argentina are planning to cast their ballots Sunday for right-wing populist and self-described anarcho-capitalist, Javier Milei.
14 minutes agoPresidential candidate of the Liberty Advances coalition Javier Milei waves to supporters during a campaign rally in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023. General elections are set for Oct. 22. – Once an activist in a left-leaning youth movement, Rubén Dávalos is now among the millions of disaffected voters in Argentina planning to cast their ballots for right-wing populist and self-described anarcho-capitalist, Javier Milei.
“With the economy staring into the abyss, the upcoming election is arguably one of the most important ones in Argentina’s recent history,” Kimberley Sperrfechter, an emerging markets economist focused on Latin America at Capital Economics wrote in an analysis this week. “These are the most important elections of the last 100 years,” Milei told a rally in Buenos Aires on Wednesday. “Let’s not resign ourselves to nothing changing. Let’s not resign ourselves to becoming poorer every day.”But his support is somewhat volatile, given that much of it stems from younger voters whose ideologies aren’t solidified and who are easily swayed by social media, said Andrei Roman, CEO of Brazil-based pollster Atlas Intel, whose latest survey shows Massa ahead.
“I don’t see another option; the other ones scare me,” said the resident of a middle-class neighborhood of Buenos Aires. His libertarianism can take on peculiar contours: He says the law shouldn’t prevent people from selling their organs and openly pondered whether selling one’s children could be a legitimate personal choice.
