BUENOS AIRES, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Argentina elected right-wing libertarian Javier Milei as its new president on Sunday, marking a historic shift in the country's political landscape. Milei, known for his free-market economic policies and anti-establishment views, defeated his left-wing Peronist rival in a closely watched election that has captured the attention of the international community.
Hernán Stuchi, a 29-year-old food delivery driver in greater Buenos Aires, grew up as a left-wing activist. He represents a segment of the population that has traditionally aligned with leftist ideologies but has now shifted towards the libertarian left, drawn to Milei's promises of economic reform and individual freedoms.
On Sunday, voters will choose whether to elect a far-right libertarian, Javier Milei, or the center-left economy. The election has sparked intense debate and polarization within Argentine society, with supporters of both candidates fiercely advocating for their preferred vision of the country's future.
The new president is overriding Congress to push through reforms in the Americas. Milei's victory represents a significant departure from the status quo and signals a turning point in Argentina's political direction. His unconventional approach and unorthodox policies have captured the imagination of many disaffected voters who are disillusioned with traditional political parties.
