The Financial Times describes the impending downfall of the Argentine currency: \u201cThe peso now stands at a near-record low of around 880 to the dollar on the black market, where Argentines go to convert savings to greenbacks.\u201d Moreover, the country\u2019s inflation rate is a staggering 138 percent. The gross domestic product is predicted to decline by 2.5 percent this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The frontrunner after the August primary election, Javier Milei, approached Argentina\u2019s dilemma with the notion of abolishing the nation\u2019s central bank and eliminating the use of the peso for the U.S. dollar, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2023\/10\/22\/argentina-election-2023-heres-what-to-know\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Al Jazeera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> says. Milei, a 52-year-old right-wing populist, describes himself as an \u201canarcho-capitalist.\u201d He has publicly accused sex education of being \u201ca ploy to destroy the family\u201d and has claimed climate change is a \u201csocialist lie,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/International\/wireStory\/wing-populist-javier-milei-gains-support-argentina-blasting-99661490\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ABC News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite his radicalism, Milei was the favored candidate going into the first round of the election. However, The New York Times reports that he only captured 30 percent of the vote, while his opponent Sergio Massa acquired 37 percent. Since neither of the candidates achieved 45 percent of the vote, the men will head to a runoff on November 19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brian Winter, a Latin American political analyst, told the New York Times that he attributed Milei\u2019s newly weakened position to his conservative attitude. \u201cArgentines desperately want change, but there\u2019s not enough demand for that brand of conservatism,\u201d he said. Winter also told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/oct\/23\/argentina-javier-milei-presidential-election\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Guardian<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that he believes Milei focused too heavily on \u201cculture-war\u201d issues such as abortion and gun laws, driving his voters away. Furthermore, he criticized comparisons Milei\u2019s supporters have made to other well-known right-wing politicians: \u201cI think the people who put the memes together with Milei, Bolsonaro and Trump didn\u2019t do Milei any favours. That brand of conservatism will get you 30 percent in Argentina but it\u2019s not going to get you 50 percent.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, Winter believes there is still a chance Milei could strengthen his campaign and win in November, according to The Guardian. He explained that if Milei could adopt a more moderate attitude and obtain the support of other conservative politicians in Argentina, such as former president Mauricio Macri, he could gain more popularity. \u201c[Argentina] is a country where people are desperate for change \u2013 so don\u2019t count Milei out,\u201d Winter stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sergio Massa, Milei\u2019s rival, a Peronist, and Argentina\u2019s economy minister, surprised the nation with his win on Oct. 22. Under his care, \u201cinflation surged to 116 percent, the poverty rate hit 40 percent, dollar reserves ran dry, debt rose, and the peso sunk to record lows,\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/americas\/can-argentinas-economy-chief-helm-peronist-shipwreck-election-win-2023-08-09\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Massa\u2019s current chief of staff and vice-presidential candidate, Agustin Rossi, argues that these economic dilemmas are not the fault of Massa. According to Reuters, Rossi gives Massa significant credit, saying that \u201che took the Ministry of Economy at a difficult time, and he is steering the ship more than adequately. In Peronism, that is highly valued, not running away from difficulties.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Massa, a leader for the center-left, focused his campaign on economic healing and national unity,\u00a0 reported. He assured the country that the worst of the crisis was over and urged voters against Milei\u2019s budget-cutting plans. Specifically, he criticized on \u201chow much public transportation prices in Buenos Aires would increase without subsidies,\u201d an aspect of government funding Milei plans to cut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, Massa emphasized that he would like the government to be more than just Peronist. According to the Associated Press, he said, \u201cI believe it would be a mistake to suggest that the upcoming phase should be tied solely to Peronism. We are heading toward a government of national unity. I will call upon the best from various political forces, regardless of their origin.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/efe.com\/en\/latest-news\/2023-10-23\/massa-snatches-surprise-first-round-win-in-argentina-election\/\">UPI, EFE<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Argentina\u2019s general election, held on October 22, will head to a runoff after no candidate achieved the required 45 percent of the vote to win, according to The New York Times.
