Javier Milei is far from your average politician. His critics call him ‘El Loco’, meaning The Madman and he certainly plays up to that reputation having claimed that he ‘hears voices’ and frequently ‘talks to his dead dog.’ Milei ran his campaign mostly on TikTok where he became known for his fiery and sometimes wild campaign promises. He has claimed he was going to shut down the central bank and axe a whole host of government departments. Many Argentinians who have suffered through the long economic crisis in Argentina were won over by his anti-establishment stance, passionate proclamations and seemingly simple solutions to big problems. We explore whether Javier Milei can deliver on those radical promises and what does his election mean for South America?
