Peronism is losing support in even its biggest strongholds in Argentina, where the political movement has long used patronage to build loyalty -- "local leaders who hand out mattresses, fridges and stoves." Great work by Daniel Politi & David Biller at the The Associated Press: apnews.com/article/argent…

Both cheers and jeers for Argentina’s right-wing presidential candidate Javier Milei resounded with acoustic perfection inside the country’s legendary Colón Theater, laying bare the country’s polarization on the eve of the runoff. apnews.com/article/argent…. 📝Daniel Politi

Argentina's presidential runoff is today. Will it be Milei, the "anarcho-capitalist" who is often compared to Trump, or Massa, the Economy Minister from the ruling Peronist party during whose watch inflation surged to +140%? Follow along here today👇 apnews.com/article/argent….

Right-wing populist Javier Milei didn't just win Argentina's presidential runoff election, he decimated Sergio Massa with almost 56% of the vote. Assuming the numbers hold, he will become president with the highest percentage of support since the return of democracy in 1983.

Argentina’s president-elect Javier Milei gave first indications of his plans to shake up the nation: with a blitz of privatizations. First on the chopping block are state media outlets, which he called "a covert ministry of propaganda". apnews.com/article/milei-…. 📝Daniel Politi

Argentina’s Milei has called for the wholesale reinvention of the govt. but has precious little time. And w/ less than 3 weeks til his inauguration, he has no executive experience and few allies in his bullpen. Tick-tock… 📝⁦⁦Daniel Politi⁩ + me apnews.com/article/milei-…

The Copa América soccer tournament begins tonight, with world champion Argentina vs. Canada. At least for this group of players, it'll be their final tournament together. Will it be Lionel Messi's, too? Argentines fear a future without him. With Daniel Politi: nytimes.com/2024/06/20/wor…
