Argentina is wondering who will be its next president following the inauguration of Javier Milei

The country is curious as to which version of economist Javier Millie the chainsaw-wielding, anti-establishment crusader from the campaign trail, or the more centrist president-elect who has emerged in recent weeks, will take office when he takes office on Sunday.

Millie, 53, became well-known on television for his foul-mouthed tirades against the political aristocracy. He quickly converted his popularity into a congressional seat and subsequently into a presidential campaign. The self-declared anarchic-capitalist shocked the political world and completely turned the race around with his resounding victory in the August primaries.

Disillusioned with the country’s economic situation—four out of ten people living in poverty, triple-digit inflation, and a falling currency—Argentines were open to the bizarre suggestions of an outsider to improve their lot in life and change the country. His stunning victory in the election’s second round on November 19 forced the Peron’s political force, which had ruled Argentina for decades, to resign.

During his campaign, Milei promised to abolish the corrupt political establishment, replace the rapidly declining peso with the US dollar, and abolish the Central Bank, which he said was printing money and causing inflation.

However, following his victory, he appointed former Central Bank president Luis Caputo as his minister of the economy and one of Caputo’s allies to lead the bank, seemingly shelving his much-discussed dollarization intentions.

Like former US President Donald Trump, whom he publicly admires, Milei has positioned himself as a ready warrior against the advance of global socialism. However, Milei didn’t go to Mar-a-Lago during his recent visit to the United States; instead, he had lunch with Bill Clinton, another former American president.

Despite adamantly rejecting humankind’s role in global warming, he also sent a diplomat with extensive experience in climate discussions to the ongoing COP28 conference in Dubai, according to the Argentine newspaper La Nation. Additionally, he changed his mind on dissolving the country’s health ministry.

Given the enormity of the task at hand, his lack of political experience, and the necessity of forming coalitions with other parties in order to carry out his agenda in Congress—where his party is a distant third in terms of seats held—his moderation may be the result of pragmatism.

After labeling the socialist as obviously corrupt in a public interview last month and declaring that they would not meet if he became president, Milei apparently wrote a letter inviting Luis Ignacio Lula dad Silva.
