Milei vs. Everyone: Can He Survive the Storm Before the Elections?

[Kira]

What a week for Javier Milei! Between the economy shrinking, interest rates skyrocketing, and the opposition breathing down his neck, the president seems to be in full “anarcho-capitalist, nothing-can-stop-me” mode. 😅
He’s already blaming the political “establishment” as usual, but honestly, the Buenos Aires provincial elections are shaping up to be a big test for what’s coming in October. Will his radical austerity win over voters, or is he digging his own hole?

Milei is extreme, sure, but that’s what some voters want: someone who breaks from old politics. I’d be surprised if he actually stabilizes anything.

I think Milei always plays the confrontation card. If he wins in Buenos Aires, it’s a huge blow to the K’s, but if he loses… yikes, it’s going to get ugly.

It feels like Milei is gambling everything on this austerity plan. On one hand, cutting back could show investors he’s serious about fixing Argentina’s finances, but on the other hand, everyday people are the ones taking the hit right now. If he doesn’t find a way to balance economic discipline with some kind of relief for the public, voters might turn on him fast. The provincial elections will probably show whether people still have patience for his experiment or if they’ve had enough.

It sounds like his sister is very corrupt. I heard many stories about her from very credible people in BA of kickbacks. I won't mention any names but some of the people on this board have told me some stories about her. Sounds like corruption continues on with the Milei's. Maybe not at the same level of the Kirchner's.

I just read this on Buysellba's X today.

Most agree she is dirty. I know enough people that tell me stories. My neighbor works with the government. She doesn't have a good reputation. Let's see how the October mid term elections turn out but the big money grab before with Libra was probably her idea. Her little brother is a bit naive.

Wasn't she a tarot card reader before and a baker? What does she know about politics? It sounds like her lack of experience is showing now. I know corruption in Argentina will never disappear but seems like one thing after another.

Yeah, Milei isn’t going to do well, as the polls already show. His image has taken a hit because of the corruption uncovered in the disability sector, a very sensitive area that’s been suffering a lot. Many people will take this into account when voting.
