ELECTION 2023: RUN-OFF

The death of moderation and the triumph of polarisation

11-11-2023 05:48 Milei seems to be recovering lost ground after a surprise defeat in the general election. If we are to believe any of the opinion polls that have come out recently (which we should read only with scepticism) the ultra-libertarian holds a thin lead over the economy minister. There seems to be a clear reversal of the post-election sentiment that Massa is already on the way to the Casa Rosada.

Milei’s vision seduces young Argentine voters

14-10-2023 12:24 Libertarian presidential candidate is the bookies’ favourite to win the October 22 election, but just a few months ago, he was seen as the outsider.
