President-elect Miley: Argentina will work with the countries of the free world
An opponent of Argentina’s entry into BRICS and cooperation with Russia, far-right politician Javier Miley from the opposition libertarian coalition “Freedom Comes” won the second round of the presidential election, gaining 55.72 percent of the vote, as follows from the results of counting 98.85 percent of the ballots. The TV channel reports this El Trece.
His rival, Economy Minister and right-wing candidate Sergio Massa, has already admitted defeat and congratulated his opponent on his victory and wished him good luck. “The results were not what we expected,” he concluded.
The rise of Miley, little known some time ago, was a consequence of the difficult economic situation in the country. Miley is distinguished by extreme populism; he advocates the dollarization of the economy, privatization, including in the field of education and healthcare, and the rejection of cooperation with China, Brazil and Russia in favor of the United States and Israel. In addition, the new leader of Argentina opposes the country’s entry into BRICS. The politician, nicknamed the “chainsaw economist,” intends to greatly cut budget spending. In addition, he threatened to disperse the country’s Central Bank.
