From Ben Norton:
Far-right extremist Javier Milei won Argentina’s presidential election.
Milei wants to: -legalize the sale of children and human organs -abolish public healthcare, education, and transportation -abandon monetary sovereignty and adopt the US dollar
He says his dead dog Conan speaks to him from the afterlife and advises him on economic policy.
Argentina was invited to join BRICS, but far-right president-elect Javier Milei has pledged to withdraw.
The extremist boasted: “Our geopolitical alignment is with the U.S. and Israel. We are not going to align with communists”
Is a 76% participation rate common for Argentinian elections? I haven’t seen anyone bringing I to question the legitimacy of the results. Idk enough about the people to judge if this sort of outcome was expected but I find it hard so many people support a dude that talks about how he hears voices from his dead dog.
mandatory voting. fines for people between 17 and like 60
