Asked about the vote, Mexico’s president said inflation and economic crises “always benefit the right and conservatism”. He then mentioned Adolf Hitler.
An anti-establishment, libertarian candidate who admires former US president Donald Trump, claims climate change is a lie and wants to legalise the sale of human organs has received the biggest share of votes in primary elections that will help determine Argentina’s next leader.
Gun ownership is severely restricted in Argentina. Milei proposes the “deregulation of the legal market” for weapons and “the protection of its legitimate and responsible use by the citizens,” according to his party’s electoral platform. “The more the dollar rises, the more expensive things become,” Marta Gisela Barrera, a 29-year-old urban recycler who has trouble buying enough food for her four children, said on Monday morning. “I don’t know what’s going to happen anymore.”Voting is compulsory and 69 per cent of the country’s 35 million voters went to the polls to choose candidates for positions ranging from local councillor to president.
Right-wing populists are also making inroads with a tough-on-crime message, most notably in El Salvador, where the popularity of President Nayib Bukele has soared amid a crackdown on gangs that has led to human-rights abuses. In order to win the vote in two months, Milei will have to increase his share of the nation’s votes by 15 per cent, a high hurdle even in a nation where voters tend to favour candidates they see as winners.
