About this listen
Javier Milei kicked off a whirlwind week with his Central Banks Governor Santiago Bausili announcing tweaks to Argentinas foreign exchange regime per Buenos Aires Times signaling a shift toward a weaker peso to build reserves and appease the IMF over short-term inflation wins. This pragmatic pivot underscores Mileis post-midterm honeymoon where his Liberty Advances party grabbed 13 new Senate seats boosting his legislative muscle after voters endorsed austerity amid falling inflation poverty and GDP growth nearing 5 percent as reported by Troy Media and Eurasia Review. Youth protests raged on fueled by social media like TikTok and Instagram against his education cuts per Global Voices with tens of thousands marching in Buenos Aires as recently as September demanding university funding under slogans like Our future cant be vetoed though no direct Milei appearances there.
The chainsaw-wielding president stole the spotlight Saturday at the Mercosur Summit in Foz do Iguacu Brazil where he fiercely backed Donald Trumps US military and economic pressure on Venezuelas Nicolas Maduro labeling him a narco-terrorist running an atrocious dictatorship according to Prensa Latina and Le Monde. Milei clashed openly with Brazilian President Lula da Silva who warned of humanitarian catastrophe from armed intervention while Milei declared the time for timid approaches is over also pushing Mercosur flexibility for bilateral US deals and Malvinas sovereignty. No fresh social media blasts from Milei surfaced in the last 24 hours but opposition Peronists dissected old Cristina Fernandez posts amid their disarray.
Economically hes eyeing labor reforms despite manufacturing job losses of over 21 thousand this year per UIA data a high-stakes bet as Congress debates a rosy 2026 budget projecting 10 percent inflation and five percent growth. These moves cement Mileis lone-wolf libertarian arc defying critics for long-term revolution.
