This Bitcoin Maniac Really Becomes President of Argentina
Javier Milei, the presidential candidate who once threatened to blow up his country's central bank, was officially elected president of Argentina today. "Argentines have chosen another path." Javier Milei's opponent Massa lost the election and reluctantly announced that he would retire from frontline politics.
In the second round of the election on November 19, Javier Milei received 55.7% of the vote, while Massa received 44.2%. After defeating this last opponent, Javier Milei will be inaugurated as president on December 10. "Today, Argentina's reconstruction begins. This is a historic night for Argentina," Javier Milei told jubilant supporters at his campaign headquarters in Buenos Aires.
