"Argentina's Shocking Far-Right Primary Win Sends Currency into Chaos"

Javier Milei, an admirer of former President Trump, has emerged as the biggest vote-getter in Argentina's presidential primary elections by copying Trump's political playbook. Milei advocates for easier gun ownership, denies climate change, opposes sex education, and calls for the abolition of Argentina's Central Bank. With around 30% of the total vote, Milei has shaken up the political establishment and is now considered a real contender for the presidency. His success reflects public fatigue with the current political leadership and a desire for change. However, his rise has raised concerns about the impact on financial markets and the value of Argentina's peso.
