Milei triumphs in Argentina, the global right rejoices – Latin America

The triumph of Javier Miley in Argentina he not only rekindles the hope of the millions of voters who in the name of change largely preferred him to the Peronist Minister of Economy Sergio Massa, but also of the family of the global right. From Bolsonaro to Trump, from Salvini to Abascalthe victory of the ultra-liberal Milei was greeted with the hope that the new sovereignist wind will spread. Giorgia Meloni, like other Heads of State and Government, congratulated. While South America, which a year ago had celebrated its newfound unity on the left with Lula in Brazil orra looks worried at the new tenant of the Casa Rosada, elected in the run-off with more than eleven points of difference over his opponent (55.69% against Massa’s 44.32%).

“Decadence ends in Argentina, the model of the Peronist state ends which impoverishes and blesses only some while the majority suffers. Let’s go back to embracing freedom, today reconstruction begins”, exulted the anarcho-capitalist in his first speech as winner. Having replaced the leather nail and tamed the disheveled tuft, Milei showed up in a suit and tie alongside his sister Karina, his support in life and politics. “We know that there are people who will resist to maintain privileges. We will be implacable”, she warned, warning that caste, which, taking up a chainsaw, had promised to cut to pieces in its rallies. But once the moment of celebrations have passed, which have flooded the squares of many cities in the country, there are many challenges that the president-elect must face to put the new executive into action from 10 December, the day of his inauguration, in the 40 years since the end of the dictatorship.

Among the first emergencies is the formation of the government, which sees in the role of vice-president the denialist lawyer Victoria Villaruel, defender of many soldiers convicted of crimes against humanity during the regime and promoter of the Madrid Charter against the expansion of communism. Justice should go to the controversial lawyer Mariano Cuneo Libarona, who became famous in the nineties for the Coppola scandal, the legendary manager and friend of Diego Maradona, accused of “drug possession”.

But the key to Economy is still empty among the boxes. The future minister will have the crucial task of implementing the promised measures (from dollarisation to the closure of the Central Bank) to get the country back on its feet, avoiding triggering social revolts. The most accredited is Federico Sturzenegger, former governor of the Central Bank with former president Mauricio Macri, the latter being a great supporter of Milei after the general elections of 22 October had eliminated the candidate of his centre-right formation United for the change (Uxc), Patricia Bullrich, also in the running for an armchair.

On the other hand, the numbers in Parliament also represent a puzzle for the elected president, who needs a good political strategy to stay in the saddle. His coalition, ‘Freedom Advances’, has only 45 parliamentarians. Some of the 93 deputies and 24 senators of Uxc could act as a crutch for him, but after the first round it imploded. He will have a patrol of 140 representatives of Peronism against him. Milei is already busy putting the pieces together, knowing that pressing emergencies will soon leave him no respite. Added to this is the delicate topic of transition. In the next few days the new head of state will meet the outgoing Alberto Fernandez. Economy Minister Massa could take a vacation and call himself out, while Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, in shock from the defeat, goes to Italy, where she is supposed to see Pope Francis, who has been attacked several times by Milei. Meanwhile, Wall Street and the dollar are toasting. The shares of listed Argentine companies have jumped, with the energy giant YPF on the verge of privatization up to 38%. And even though the markets in Argentina are closed for holidays, the online greenback has soared above a thousand pesos. Among the messages of good wishes also those from the owner of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva, with whom Milei will have to negotiate a payment of two billion in January.
