The party of Argentinian President Javier Milei won an overwhelming victory in the nation’s legislature over the weekend, despite recent financial and political turmoil that has led to an offer of a bailout from the Trump Administration.
The October 26 victory was a litmus test for the policies of the Argentinian president, who is focused on curbing fiscally crippling inflation and instituting deep austerity measures to restore the flailing economy of the South American nation.
“Today we passed a turning point,” Milei told supporters. “Today begins the building of a great Argentina.”
“We want to be a country that grows,” continued Milei, adding that with his party’s victory he will “make Argentina great again.”
