Javier Milei has won a fresh mandate to remake Argentina – The Economist | 27/10/25

Argentine President Javier Milei secured a decisive victory in the mid-term elections, as his La Libertad Avanza party captured approximately 41 % of the vote—a landslide by local standards, according to The Economist. The result strengthens his mandate to pursue libertarian economic reforms centered on free markets and fiscal restraint, giving him greater capacity to block heavy spending by the opposition. However, despite the win, Milei does not yet hold an outright congressional majority, which means he still faces the task of forging legislative coalitions, sustaining public backing, and navigating the social risks associated with rapid change.
