4 milestones in the life of Milei, Argentina's president-elect

The leader of La Libertad Avanza, the man who, using a chainsaw during his campaign, symbolized his promise to break with everything so that Argentina becomes a world power again, managed to become this Sunday the president elect of his country. With his victory in the second round over the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, Milei marks at least two milestones: with a new and groundbreaking discourse -which he defines as libertarian and anarcho-capitalist-, he puts an end to the dominance at the polls of the forces of Peronism/Kirchnerism vs. anti-Peronism/Macrism, and becomes the first economist to reach the Casa Rosada. This is not a minor fact in a country that was once among the richest in the world and has been suffering for years from a galloping inflation -which currently exceeds 140% per year- and indices that put 40% of the people below the poverty line. Those who, during the campaign, expressed fear and rejection of his figure, accusing him of being an incendiary and backward-looking man, proved to be a minority. But who is Javier Milei? Here are 4 milestones in the life of the new president of Argentina.
