I’ve been in Buenos Aires for two months This is good news for Argentina. Milei did a horrible thing by lowering the Peso by 47% early on his administration, and then freezing all pensions. Seniors’ effective incomes are less than half of what they were pre-Milei. The election results from last night are a huge loss for authoritarianism in Argentina.
