A mandate of confrontation and economic changes
Today, Javier Milei completes 100 days in office in Argentina, a period marked by confrontation and economic adjustments. After winning the election with a strong speech to end caste, he has implemented measures that have particularly affected the middle and lower classes, such as the elimination of subsidies, devaluation of the official currency and loss of purchasing power of wages.
Continued support despite adjustments
Despite these economic changes, Javier Milei maintains support of 53.6% and a negative of 42.1%, according to a study by Giacobbe & Asociados. This shows that, despite the difficulties, it still has significant support from the population.
Political style and impact on social networks
The way he manages social networks has been key to Milei’s rise in Argentine politics. His confrontational style and his measures have generated a significant impact in this area, consolidating his presence in the country’s politics.
Controversial measures and changes in foreign policy
Milei’s flagship proposals, such as the Law Bases and Points of Departure for the Freedom of Argentines and the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU), have generated controversy and exposed the institutional fragility of La Libertat Avança. In addition, changes in foreign policy, such as Argentina’s refusal to join the BRICS group and the new orientation towards the United States and Israel, have generated debate and criticism.
Reactions and analysis
According to analyst Jorge Arias, support for Milei reflects a broader dissatisfaction with democracy worldwide. Also, the changes in foreign policy have been the subject of criticism, with experts pointing out a lack of control that could have negative long-term consequences.
