Argentina, long known for tango and football, is now making headlines with a radical political shift. Meet Javier Milei – Argentina’s eccentric, libertarian president known for his dramatic chainsaw politics and anti-establishment image.

02:38 – Winning Over Argentina with Radical Ideas
Facing over 200% inflation, Milei won the 2023 presidency with over 55% of the vote. His appeal cut across youth, middle class, and disillusioned working-class voters.
