Do cry for Argentina

[karbatal]

The far right extremist and absolutely deranged Milei has won.

 

 

[elijah]

Who the hell is that crazy bitch??? Are the Argentinians mad?

I thought he was a comedy sketch  

[karbatal]

He advocates that people can sell organs to get money to make ends meet. He proposes to reduce 90% taxes and all subsidies to people in need will be banned. 
 

Argentina dug its own grave. 

[sotos8]

Argentina being in a financial crisis for decades now and with poverty and inflation rates rising this was bound to happen 

[jonski43]

And no surprise, he wants the Falkland Islands which is what every Argentine leader says when their economy tanks. 

[jonski43]

he seems normal

 

[karbatal]

Look for which personalities and political parties in your country celebrated his victory and you will know which ones you should avoid 

[domyeyebrows]

Why are people who look like parodies from the 80s now running countries? It's terrifying.

The system always wins. This is a disaster to regular people

The far-right also won the election in Netherlands this week. Very bad week for the future of democracy in occident. All these dangerous clowns are elected following the disillusionment of the population and aim to change democracies into authoritarian regimes.

[Nightshade]

Alarming. But being from a country that elected Trump (and may yet again), I've come to the conclusion that the masses will not find the answers they hope for in these idiots, but they are so desperate for a massive change in society's structures, they are willing to blow everything up and see where the pieces fall.

[karbatal]

Actually I think people vote AGAINST and not PRO. They vote Trump so “leftards” go to hell. They vote Milei for the same. They don’t care about the political program. 
 

During the campaign in Argentina they asked a woman about subsidies and she said “they are vital for people like me”, then they asked about her vote and she was pro Milei. “But he promised to cut all subsidies!” said the journalist and the woman laughed and said “I don’t care”.

I don’t know domestic but at EU level Netherlands was already far right.

I think there is some of that in the U.S. but that's largely a narrative from the media. Most people who lean right but aren't necessary Kool Aid drinkers, are so fed up with everything I think they believe shock treatment is the only option remaining. Unfortunately, that is not going to help them.

[Je5u5]

Do we have any Argentineans here that can share their views?

[Alpha]

I dunno if I want to laugh or cry, but would be good to hear from people living there.

This really

That is so fucked up. 

It is crazy how Milei has been elected, and I really feel that US is staring @ a real possibility of Trump being back in power... 

[Toni]

I’m really not up to scratch on Argentina but I gather they voted for a nutter out of sheer desperation? Well now they’re definitely in the shitter by the looks of things

He asks for austerity and then when he goes on the streets he needs 500 bodyguards
