Milei Wins Mandate for Free-Market Revolution in Argentina’s Election
President Javier Milei scored a decisive political win, tightening his grip on Argentina’s Congress and securing a lifeline for his free-market revolution.
With nearly 92% of votes counted, Milei’s Freedom Advances party won almost 41% of the national vote, putting it on track to more than double its representation in Congress.
This result gives Milei fresh political momentum after months of unrest over deep spending cuts and a grinding recession last year.
Backed by President Trump
Milei should secure at least one-third of the seats in both chambers, allowing him to preserve his veto power and defend his sweeping decrees.
