• On Sunday, Argentina will hold mid-term legislative elections that are crucial for President Javier Milei and his party La Libertad Avanza.
• Milei is facing a potential decrease in support due to his poor performance and corruption allegations involving his party.
• Recently, Milei has sought to appease tensions by increasing social spending.
• The president has also enlisted the support of Donald Trump for a financial bailout.
• Although his policies have reduced inflation, there are doubts about whether Milei's government can pay the sovereign debt given the stagnating Argentine economy.
• If Milei's party does not fare well in the election, it will make it more difficult to pass future reforms.
• The Peronist party Fuerza Patria constitutes a strong opposition.

Conclusion: The mid-term legislative elections in Argentina represent a plebiscite on Milei's performance, which has seen a drop in popularity. Milei's promise to refurbish Argentina's economy and image is fading in the face of the stark reality of the crisis and the daily deterioration.
