Early actions (2023–2025) awarding Milei the presidential scepter during the
inauguration on 10 December 2023 Milei took office as president on 10 December 2023, amidst a lack of support in Congress, an annual inflation rate approaching 200%, rising poverty, and a polarized population as challenges for his presidency. His foreign minister,
Diana Mondino, announced that Argentina would not join the
BRICS bloc of developing economies, as had been planned for 2024. In his first speech as president, Milei warned of an
economic shock, described as
shock therapy in monetary terms, to be used to fix Argentina's financial woes. Following his inauguration, Milei saw his popularity rise. After the first governmental and economic reforms he and his ministers made, 53% of the Argentine people had a good, or excellent, opinion of him, according to a poll by Aresco on 15 December. Milei's cabinet includes ministers from
La Libertad Avanza and
Juntos por el Cambio. In his first acts as president, Milei signed 13 decrees related to his cabinet members. He also lowered the number of ministries from 18 to 9. He appointed three secretariats with portfolio rank, including his sister, to the position of General Secretary of the Presidency, after modifying the anti-
nepotism law prohibiting the appointment of family members. in Buenos Aires, 10 December 2023 Milei signed
Decree 70/2023, deregulating the Argentine economy. Since such a move is subject to approval by Congress, it called for an extraordinary session, to be held in the first months of 2024. As part of the measure, an estimated 5,000 public sector employees were expected to be affected. An Argentine court halted the labor reforms that were part of the decree. The CGT also organized a
general strike against the proposed policies involving tens of thousands of Argentine workers on a 12-hour strike, which resulted in the cancellation of hundreds of flights. In March 2024, when Argentina submitted a complaint against Venezuela to the
International Civil Aviation Organization for violating the
Convention on International Civil Aviation, Milei and Venezuelan President
Nicolás Maduro traded accusations. That month, Milei approved the transfer of two military
Mi-171E helicopters to Ukraine, which it later received. On 18 April, Argentina formally submitted a request to become a
NATO global partner. Meanwhile,
various anti-government protests took place from January to June over e.g. not increasing university funds and cuts to subsidies and social programmes. These protests occurred in the context of broad, general approval according to a poll published by
Clarín on 7 June 2024, where most Argentines had a positive image of their president and an optimistic view of future economic measures. Under his watch, Argentina exited deficit for the first time in 123 years. In a speech given to the
World Economic Forum, Milei encouraged a worldwide push for libertarianism, claiming Argentina's was a successful example. He also stated that "radical feminism" was a "distortion" of equality. leaders with
European Commission President
Ursula von der Leyen at the 65th Mercosur Summit in
Montevideo, Uruguay, 5 December 2024 In 2024, legal scholar
Manuel García-Mansilla was nominated to fill the vacancy left by Minister
Juan Carlos Maqueda and Ariel Lijo was nominated to fill the vacancy left by
Elena Highton de Nolasco to the
Supreme Court by Milei. On 26 February 2025, Milei appointed both of them by presidential decrees after they failed to obtain clearance in the senate. Some lawmakers questioned Lijo's fitness to serve on the court over corruption concerns, and
Human Rights Watch called Milei's appointments "one of the most serious attacks against the independence of the Supreme Court in Argentina since the return of democracy". On 4 April 2025 both were rejected by the Senate, with Mansilla receiving 51 votes against and 21 in favor and Lijo receiving 43 votes against and 27 in favour, in what was branded as a tactical alliance between
UP and
PRO. The primary reason was the majority of senators disapproval of appointment by decree to the
Supreme Court which was described as a political defeat for Milei. In May 2025, Milei signed a decree to tighten
immigration laws in Argentina. Milei said that immigrants were bringing "chaos and abuse" to Argentina, and ordered that the path to citizenship be restricted, with foreign nationals having to reside two years without interruption in Argentina and show proof of income or "sufficient means", plus a clean criminal record in their home countries. Presidential spokesman
Manuel Adorni said that Milei's decree "honors history to Make Argentina Great Again", as the opposition likened Milei's move to Trump's similar immigration policies in the US. On 18 May 2025, local elections were held in the capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires. Manuel Adorni, Milei's top presidential spokesman, attained victory with 30% of the votes, a larger margin than anticipated; while the center right opposition, PRO suffered its worst defeat since taking power in Buenos Aires two decades ago, with only 16%. The peronist candidate Leandro Santoro lost with 27% of the votes. The voting turnout for the election was at a historic low of 53% despite compulsory voting. in June 2025 In August 2025, Karina Milei, who holds the post of Secretary General of the Presidency and is a close adviser and sibling to President Javier Milei, had been implicated in a corruption scandal centering on alleged kickbacks from pharmaceutical contracts managed through Argentina's National Disability Agency (ANDIS). The allegations emerged after leaked audio recordings from Diego Spagnuolo, the former head of ANDIS and previously a lawyer for Milei, in which he claims that companies seeking disability-related contracts were pressured to pay an "8% commission" (kickback) on contracts, a portion of which would go to Karina Milei and her associate Eduardo "Lule" Menem. The scandal has been politically damaging as it contradicts Milei's public image as an outsider committed to fighting corruption; it has provoked public outrage, especially given that the alleged misconduct involves contracts aimed at vulnerable populations; and it may have electoral consequences for his party (La Libertad Avanza) in forthcoming legislative elections. Though there is no evidence that Javier Milei had a role in the scandal, it still affected his chances of winning the electoral vote in Buenos Aires, resulting in a Peronist victory. On 7 September 2025, following weeks after Karina's scandal came to light, Milei's party had lost a key electoral election in Buenos Aires, with La Libertad Avanza attaining 33% of the votes while the Peronist opposition received 47%. President Milei conceded defeat and reflected on the reasons for the loss, but vowed to not repeat his mistakes and to accelerate his economic agenda ahead of schedule. In 2023, Peronism got 4.3 million votes (about 45%) while LLA received 2.3 million. This time, it got 3.8 million votes while LLA attained 2.7 million votes. Voter turnout was only 61%. On 10 September 2025, Milei reorganized the
Secretariat of the Interior into a ministry, reversing a downgrade in 2024 that he had made as part of his pledge to reduce public deficits and the size of the government. This occurred amid La Libertad Avanza losing heavily in the
2025 Buenos Aires provincial election. In October 2025, President Javier Milei's party, La Libertad Avanza, won a landslide victory in
midterm elections, making it easier for Milei to push ahead with his programme of radical spending cuts and free-market reforms. In late 2025, the Milei administration announced the creation of a new "Agencia Nacional de Migraciones" (National Immigration Agency), moving control from the Interior Ministry to the Security Ministry, with a focus on border control and security, described by some as an Argentine equivalent to U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Later actions (2025–present) Javier Milei, following a strong showing in the recent mid-term elections where he tripled his presence in Congress, has embarked on a drive to solidify his reform agenda in Argentina. First, he convened governors and the Buenos Aires mayor at the Casa Rosada, gathering 20 out of 23 provinces (while excluding four Peronist leaders) to build consensus around his 2026 Budget and structural reforms focused on labour, tax and penal-code changes. Concurrently, he announced a sweeping “new economic roadmap” to be deployed once the new Congress seats in December, featuring major labour, tax and pension overhauls aimed at restoring fiscal balance, formalizing informal work, simplifying the tax burden and protecting private property — part of his broader vision of making Argentina “the freest country in the world.” In February 2026, the National Congress approved legislation supported by Milei to liberalise Argentina's labour laws.
Economy In 2024, under President Javier Milei, Argentina saw major economic changes, focusing on
austerity,
deregulation, and reducing government spending. The most pressing issue for Milei was hyperinflation. Inflation dropped from 300% in May 2024 to 55.9% in March 2025, the lowest level in over three years, with monthly inflation hitting a five-year low of 2.2% in January. Milei cut government positions by approximately 52,000, a reduction of between 9.6% and 15.7%; reduced salaries of high-ranking officials; and shut down the tax agency (AFIP), replacing it with a smaller one, saving billions. While poverty rose to 57% early in 2024, it declined to 38.1% by Q3, with homelessness also decreasing. The economy shrank in early 2024, but grew 3.9% in Q3, helped by an 80.2% rebound in agriculture. The Argentine
peso strengthened by 44.2% against the U.S. dollar, boosting average wages in dollar terms to $990. Wages, along with purchasing power in Argentina began falling in October 2023, before Milei was elected and inaugurated as president. By the start of his presidency, real wages fell by more than 20%. They have mostly rebounded back to their November 2023 levels, ending the first year of his presidency as an economic success. Argentina paid off $4.3 billion in debt, and investor confidence soared, pushing bond prices higher. According to Gallup, the confidence in the economy by everyday people soared in end of 2024, reaching heights not seen since 2015. The country signed a free trade deal with the EU, and credit ratings improved. Forecasts predict economic growth of 3.5%–5.5% in 2025 as inflation stabilizes and investments increase. 2025 was a turbulent year for Milei. Inflation had become 1.5% a month, and poverty had markedly fallen to 31.6%, the lowest it had been since 2018. In the first half of 2025, reports indicate that the middle class grew by 7.7 million, rebounding back to pre-pandemic levels of 39% Milei has contended that a fiscal surplus remains non-negotiable, with a target of 1.6% for 2025. Karina's scandal and the subsequent loss of the legislative elections in Buenos Aires resulted in backlash from the markets, temporarily jeopardizing the macro-economic situation that Milei had dedicated his presidency to date, as the market feared that Milei losing the midterm elections would result in the stifling of his agenda. The economic reforms and policies have had a significant impact on the average Argentine, as some common expenses such as private school tuition and health insurance plans have risen above CPI. Despite soaring disapproval ratings, Milei achieved victory in the legislative elections of 2025, attaining a larger than expected share of votes. The victory galvanized the economy, leading towards bonds increasing by 23% in a day, the Argentine stock market growing by 70% compared to last month and the peso briefly appreciating in value. The country risk index dropped by 40% after the elections.
Inflation Inflation was the foremost largest issue dominating contemporary Argentine politics, as it spiraled out of control during and for some time after the elections of 2023. The issue had been a consistent phenomenon throughout the history of Argentina, a country whose economy had been mismanaged for decades. Milei, convinced that the Peronist establishment largely caused the economic crisis, made it his main objective during the first and second year of his presidency to stop the situation from getting worse through anti-inflationary economic policies, and to diminish the influence of Peronism. Annual inflation stood at 254.2% in the first month of Milei's term, and reached a peak of 300% in May 2024. Monthly inflation slowed in 2024 as Milei continued to push austerity and deregulation measures to revive the country's struggling economy. Annual inflation rate came in at 39.4% in July 2025. On the same month, monthly inflation reached a 5-year low of 1.5%. The defeat in the local elections in Buenos Aires scared the market, with investors afraid that Milei would not be able to maintain his free market agenda in his presidential term. Victory in the legislative elections caused the Peso to rally temporarily before stabilizing again. In June 2024, Milei was able to pass his tax and 'omnibus' bill. The bill, watered down significantly from its original form, aimed at deregulating and reforming several sectors and state owned enterprises in Argentina, also included reforms concerning labour, commerce and real estate and various social programmes such as healthcare. President Javier Milei achieved a budget surplus within the first few months in office by gutting chunks of the government structure and downsizing it drastically and reducing the salaries of high ranking authorities, leading to a reduction of government spending by 30%. This has resulted in a financial surplus for 6 consecutive months for the first time since 2008. The reforms have led to 9.6% of all federal employees (approximately 52,000) being laid off, saving the government nearly 2.1 billion in taxes. Milei's repealing of rent controls in December 2023 has caused rental unit supply to increase by 190%. This resulted in a 40% decline in real price of rental properties when adjusted for inflation. Inflation-adjusted rents have remained relatively stable since. From January to May 2025 rents have increased by 1.6% after adjusting for inflation. "He has done more good than many people expected", said Alejandro Werner, a former official with the International Monetary Fund. "Maybe I would choose to do it a different way. But, sometimes, to change things, you need somebody that’s a little bit of a fanatic to really move the needle. And he has done it." Though the macroeconomic side had become stabilized, the societal consequences were palpable. Patience towards president Milei's reforms runs thin as his economic reforms cuts into salaries and pushes up the cost of living.
Poverty During the first six months of his presidency, poverty rates increased by over 11 percentage points, from 41.7% to 52.9%, briefly peaking at 57.4% at the end of January 2024. In response, his government pointed out that poverty rates were already rising under previous administrations. According to INDEC, poverty rates fell to 38.1% during the third quarter of 2024. The Ministry of Human Capital estimated a drop in poverty during the first quarter of 2025 from 38.1% to 31.7%. An economist working for CEDLAS (Center for distributive, Labour and Social Studies), estimates that between October 2024 and March 2025, the poverty rate dropped to 34.4%. A report published in July 2025 largely confirmed these predictions, finding that Argentina's urban poverty rate dropped to 31.6% in the first half of 2025, its lowest level since 2018. Extreme poverty also decreased from 18.2% to 7.4% annually. INDEC reported the official poverty rate to be 31.6% of the general population in the first half of 2025, with household poverty coming in at 24.1%. The UCA disputes the magnitude of the reduction, arguing that INDEC uses an inadequate methodology. They find that poverty has decreased to 36.3%, compared to their previous estimate of 45.6% in the same period a year ago, lowest since 2018. Income inequality increased slightly from 0.417 to 0.436 in 2024, but decreased to 0.427 by the end of 2025.
International trade and payments In June, during a meeting in Berlin, Milei and German chancellor
Olaf Scholz expressed support for a
free trade agreement between the EU and
Mercosur. An agreement on the free trade deal was announced on 6 December 2024. Milei's actions have led to Argentina regaining a favourable relation with the IMF after having been in a precarious position for almost 2 years, securing a 20 billion dollar loan. Since July 2022, the country has consistently kept a risk assessment of over 2000 points, well above the continental average of 250 points, marking significant volatility and lack of trust in the market. Since Milei's victory, the risk assessment trended downward, falling below 500 points for the first time since 2018. The loan is set to be used to disintegrate the remaining capital controls on the peso, as well as aiding the government in building up reserves, which had been exhausted prior to his presidency.
J. P. Morgan has commented that "The policy advancements represent a significant step forward, enabling the country to unlock a potential that has been stifled for decades due to poor policy-making." Argentina is the IMF's largest debtor country. The possibility of a peronist victory led towards the market reacting with fear, resulting in the peso depreciating and the central bank having to spend a billion dollars to maintain the currency in its bandwidth. The market risk index surged due to this reaction. In September 2025, the possibility of Milei losing the midterm elections sent shockwaves throughout the Argentine market, leading towards intervention by the central bank. Milei's attempt on stabilizing the currency has led towards an increase in purchasing power, which Argentines have exploited by travelling abroad. This has cost the government billions. Mr. Milei is testing the patience of ordinary Argentines, as his economic reforms cuts into salaries and pushes up the cost of living. Seeing the relative stability of Argentina's economy post elections, US banks revisited the deal for a 20 billion dollar swap, downsizing it to 5 billion dollars.
GDP In the first and second quarter of 2024, Argentina's GDP contracted by 2.1% and 1.8%. However, in the last quarter, it expanded 3.9%, despite the significant austerity implemented by the President. Conversely, agriculture rebounded dramatically from a severe drought, achieving an impressive growth rate of 80.2% as conditions improved. The economy of Argentina is projected by the BBVA to grow by 5.5% in 2025, and by Goldman Sachs by 3.5% and 4.5% by the Argentine central bank, as inflation stabilizes and investment starts pouring in, due to Milei's liberalization of the economy. The financial improvements seen in the 3rd quarter of 2024 are complemented by society's renewed confidence in the government, creating a positive outlook for 2025.
Moody's have increased Argentina's rating from 'Ca' to 'Caa3' due to the reforms initiated by President Milei. According to CNN, Argentina's stock index MERVAL soared by 22% one day after Milei's victory in the legislative elections of 2025, indicating significant trust in the Argentine government's ability to continue its liberalizing reforms.
Foreign policy in February 2025 in July 2025 Milei made a radical change to Argentina's traditional foreign policy, aligning Argentina with the United States and Israel. Some analysts, like Ayelén Oliva of the
BBC News or Walter Schmidt of
Clarín, have compared his rapprochement to these countries to
President Menem's similar policies in the 1990s. Milei's views on the
Russian invasion of Ukraine had distanced him from other right-wing figures. He first supported Ukraine in its defense against Russia, and
sent military helicopters to Ukraine during the first months of his presidency. Milei also cooled relations with Russia, and has considered sending more lethal aid to Ukraine. However, since the change in U.S. administration in 2025, Milei's government started backing U.S.-led
peace efforts. During the
Gaza war, Milei was a fierce supporter of Israel, vowing his "unwavering" support. Among his measures in support of Israel, Milei declared
Hamas as a terrorist organization in July 2024, and ordered the Argentine delegation at the UN to
vote against the incorporation of the
State of Palestine into the United Nations. In February 2024, Milei visited Israel and went to a
kibbutz that had been attacked by Hamas militants during the
October 7 attacks. After the confirmation of the deaths of
Bibas family (who were Argentine citizens kidnapped by Hamas), Milei declared two days of national mourning upon the return of the family's bodies on 21 February 2025. and British Prime Minister
Keir Starmer at the
2024 G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro In Latin America, Milei dismissed the results of the
2024 Venezuelan presidential election as "fraudulent" and called on
Nicolás Maduro to resign. On 7 August 2024, Argentina became one of the first nations to recognize
Edmundo González as the legitimate President of Venezuela. Milei also met with U.S. Secretary of State
Marco Rubio during the
second inauguration of Donald Trump and reaffirmed the intention to continue to pressure Maduro to exit power. As a result of the ensuing tensions, Venezuela ordered Milei's arrest and Argentina ordered Maduro's arrest. shake hands in
Beit HaNassi in Jerusalem on 6 February 2024 Milei has expressed discontent or strong ideological differences with China, even threatening to cut ties with China during his presidential campaign. In the immediate aftermath of Milei's electoral victory, the
government of Taiwan congratulated Milei and said that Taiwan would seek to strengthen ties with Argentina. In response to these allegations, China's ambassador to Argentina Wang Wei issued a statement reaffirming the principle of a
One-China, adding that Taiwan is an "inalienable part of China" and an internal affair as well. Following threats by the Chinese government to stop buying soy and meat from Argentina in response to perceived ties between the two governments, the Argentine government clarified that there were no official contacts between Argentine and Taiwanese officials. Milei is also a strong opponent of the
Communist Party of Cuba and Cuban government, calling
First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel "despicable" and referring to Cuba as a "prison island". In October 2024, Milei fired foreign minister
Diana Mondino after she failed to vote for the
US embargo on Cuba at the UN, later assuring that Argentina condemns the "Cuban dictatorship". Milei has also condemned other leftist leaders in the region, calling Colombian President
Gustavo Petro a "murderous terrorist" and Brazilian President
Lula da Silva "corrupt" and "communist". In July 2024, Milei had a diplomatic confrontation with Bolivian President
Luis Arce over the
2024 Bolivian coup attempt, which Milei dismissed as "false" and orchestrated by Arce himself. . Milei enjoys a friendly personal relationship with former Brazilian president
Jair Bolsonaro and U.S. president
Donald Trump, and attended Trump's
second inauguration as president in January 2025 in Washington. Similar to Trump's first measures, Milei expressed intention to withdraw Argentina from the
Paris Accord and the
World Health Organization, saying that the government is studying the possibilities of suspending Argentina's memberships. Argentina subsequently announced, on 5 February, that it would withdraw from WHO, citing "deep differences" with the organization. On 27 May 2025, during a meeting with
US Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in Buenos Aires, Milei ratified Argentina's withdrawal from WHO, accusing the organization of basing its positions on political interests and bureaucratic structures while refusing to review what he claimed were mistakes. Argentina finalized its exit from WHO on 17 March 2026. In October 2025, Milei and the government of Argentina signed the nomination of Donald Trump for the
2025 Nobel Peace Prize, which was later won by
Venezuelan opposition leader
María Corina Machado. Milei congratulated her for "fighting against the narcodictatorship in Venezuela". That same month, Milei ordered to vote in favor of the US embargo on Cuba. It was the first time in history that Argentina supported the blockade, voting along six other countries: the US, Israel, Hungary,
Paraguay,
North Macedonia, and Ukraine. In January 2026, Milei celebrated the
capture of Nicolás Maduro on social media, posting on
X: "liberty advances,
¡Viva la libertad, carajo!". In a later interview, Milei expressed support for the US taking charge of the oil industry in Venezuela, which Milei said will "cut supply to communists." On 11 June 2025, while addressing the
Knesset, Milei confirmed that Argentina would effectively move its embassy to Jerusalem. Milei met with Israeli FM
Gideon Sa'ar in November 2025, announcing that he planned a trip to Israel between April and May 2026 to officially inaugurate the Argentine embassy in Jerusalem, with FM
Pablo Quirno making a previous trip to formalize the move in February. In January 2026, it was reported that the government had paused its plans to relocate the embassy pending the resolution of Israeli business in the Falkland Islands. However, Milei reactivated the move of the embassy in April 2026, intending the officialize the decision on a visit to Israel that month. In January 2026, Milei signed a decree officially designating the
Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization over the
crackdown on
Iranian protests. Following the outbreak of the
Iran war in February 2026, Milei celebrated the
assassination of Ali Khamenei, accusing Khamenei and the Islamic government of
sponsoring terrorist acts like the AMIA bombing. Milei has stated that
Iran is an enemy of Argentina, citing past terrorist attacks on Argentine soil allegedly supported by the Iranian regime. He has also supported attacks on Iran and since February 2026, his government
adopted a policy of total support for Israel and the United States in the Iran war, promoting Israel as a defender of
Judeo-Christian values and
Western civilization. In March 2026, Milei referred to himself as the "most
Zionist president in the world." Milei's support for Israel made him the first
non-Jew to receive the
Genesis Prize, dubbed the "Jewish Nobel" in 2025. Milei's $1 million award supported the idea of creating the
Isaac Accords to deepen ties between Israel and
Latin America.
Cryptocurrency scandal In February 2025, Milei publicly promoted the
cryptocurrency $LIBRA, a
meme coin, on his X account; the coin suffered a disastrous price drop shortly afterwards. Commentators have said that it could have been a
rug pull. The resulting
controversy was dubbed
Cryptogate by the media.
The Economist called it the "first big scandal" of Milei's presidency. In response, opposition politicians in
Congress called for Milei's impeachment, and a group led by , the leader of the opposition
Popular Unity party, filed charges of fraud against Milei. However, the initiative does not have enough supporters in the Impeachment Commission to proceed with the proposal. Milei conceded that promoting the coin was a mistake on his part, noting that he did not participate in its development. However, reports suggest close associates of Milei, Mauricio Novelli and Manuel Terrones Godoy, were in touch with LIBRA's creator
Hayden Davis, who was responsible for the launch of the token. Novelli was reported to have accepted bribes in exchange for providing access to the president and having facilitated the president's promotion of the token; although there is no evidence that Milei was aware of this. Milei and his government have defended him and said that he regularly promotes private Argentine ventures and projects online on his X account to attract investments and create jobs; and will continue to do so. One government official described Milei as the scam's biggest victim and said that he was cheated. Because of the rug pull, Milei ordered the Anti-Corruption office to determine whether any improper conduct occurred by any member of the national government, including himself. However, this office is part of the executive branch, and its director was placed in office by Milei. Milei's lawyer stated that Milei's behaviour "does not constitute any crime, due to the lack of intention". However, he also argued that the "volatility traders" who lost funds understood the risks involved. The corruption scandal revealed in August 2025 had a profound impact on Milei's approval rating, shifting from a steady 48% just a month before to 39%. In late August, local outlets released audio recordings that allegedly captured a high-ranking government official talking about bribes and implying that Karina Milei, the president's sister and chief of staff, was receiving kickback payments. Javier Milei has rejected the claims as false, while Karina has not publicly addressed them. His supporters have claimed that his opponents, the Peronists and Kirchnerists have framed or otherwise. Despite the scandal Milei's party, La Libertad Avanza remains as one of the most popular parties in Argentina. On 25 September 2025, the approval rating for Javier Milei was at an all-time low of 32.1%, largely due to the Jose Espert's - La Libertad Avanza's lead candidate for the Chamber of Deputies in Buenos Aires Province - ties to drug traffickers being exposed as well as the economic crisis of September 2025. Despite disapproval ratings soaring, Milei's party - La Libertad Avanza - attained a larger than expected victory in the legislative elections of 2025. According to political scientist Carlos Fara, the rejection of Peronism “carried more weight” than the recent political and corruption scandals surrounding Milei's government, the run on the peso and “the fatigue with the President’s leadership style." This was reflected in the low turnout of 67 percent, the lowest figure since 1983 in a country with compulsory voting. In the end of November 2025, his approval rating jumped between 42.6% and 49%. Men have a significantly more positive image of Milei than women. In March 2026, 62% of Argentines expressed a negative view of Milei, while 37% expressed a positive one. ==Political positions==
