Armed with emergency powers granted by the Argentine Congress, he balanced the country's out-of-control budget in one month, fired government workers by the thousands, eliminated more than 200,000 "Corrupt" social welfare programs, and even cozied up to NATO. Advertisement "There's a lot more chainsaw" to come, Milei promised in March, and I momentarily almost became gay.
According to him, Milei is the "Product of a long South American history in which authoritarianism has been the norm and democracy the exception." Of course, Goñi also called Milei "a far-right libertarian," and if you can square "Authoritarian" with "Libertarian," then cut back on the day-drinking.
Victor Swezey warned in December that "Victims of Argentina's dictatorship see [a] step backward in Milei's presidency." And the Columbia Journalism Review's Jon Allsop got his panties particularly twisted over concerns about Milei's "Particular hostility toward public media," and the private media, too.
"The risk of a default of Argentina has decreased by 38.4% since Javier Milei took office in December," news aggregator Visegrád 24 posted to Twitter/X on Tuesday.
"The Credit Default Swap, which acts as a kind of insurance against debt default, stood at 4,280 points when Milei was inaugurated. Now, it has fallen to 2,634 points." It's early into Milei's term and his reforms have barely had time to take hold.
Can Milei last? More importantly, will his reforms continue? There's just no way to know.
In the meantime, Milei's results speak for themselves.
