  • Argentinian president, Javier Milei from the party La Libertad Avanza, achieves a decisive victory in the legislative elections with over 40% of the votes.
  • Donald Trump offered Milei a financial rescue of 40 billion dollars, decisive in Milei's victory.
  • The election results suggest that the Argentine electorate feared a worsening of the economic situation.
  • Milei found support by running a campaign against kirchnerismo and peronism, which continue to play a relevant role in Argentine politics.
  • Peronism suffered an unexpected defeat especially in the province of Buenos Aires, increasing tensions and internal warfare in the party.

Conclusion: The election results reflect a combination of support for Milei's ultra-liberal economic policies, fear of a possible worsening of the economic situation and rejection towards peronism and kirchnerismo.
