Libertarian Javier Milei has rocked Argentina's political establishment by winning the most votes in the recent presidential primaries to qualify for the general election in October.
Populist candidate Javier Milei is the surprise frontrunner in the South American nation’s October 22 presidential election
A former frontman of a classic rock band with an outrageous mane of hair, he has also been waging a verbal war with fellowMilei has also espoused what he said are the benefits of free love and explained his penchant for threesomes numerous times on national television. Milei has led in each of the last five major national polls, averaging 34% to Massa’s 27% and Bullrich’s 24%. The race remains fluid, but the momentum clearly rests with Milei, who has undoubtedly picked up considerable support from the Argentine center-right establishment dominated by Bullrich and Macri.
Argentine political commentator Marcelo Duclos told Fox News Digital that"it is not only incompetence but … a corporatist model where many people benefited from this model: be it inflation linked to an uncontrolled monetary policy to finance excessive public spending in a poor country … a model of import substitution where people buy expensive things of poor quality to defend friends and industrialists, union corporatism.
Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., and chair of the House Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, told Fox News Digital,"Having Massa on the ballot ensures a national referendum on Peronism and the Kirchner governments. As experts in their fields, both Milei and Bullrich will excel against the very person responsible for the latest round of destruction of Argentina’s economy."
