Buenos Aires. The far-right Javier Milei shook the Argentine political scene on Sunday by becoming the most voted presidential candidate in the primaries to choose the candidates for the October general elections in a country hit by inflation and insecurity.
After more than 88 percent of the votes were counted, the Ministry of the Interior indicated that the former Security Minister, Patricia Bullrich, won the primaries of the opposition coalition Juntos por el Cambio while the ruling Peronism ranked third with the minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, as a candidate.
Milei proposes to dollarize the economy and close the Central Bank to prevent it from continuing to issue pesos and accelerating inflation. She is in favor of the free carrying of arms and the sale of organs and against abortion. He affirms that climate change is a lie and is an admirer of the former presidents of Brazil and the United States, Jair Bolsonaro and Donald Trump, respectively.
