Javier Milei: Argentina elects right-wing populist 'anarcho capitalist' as president

The right wing populist Javier Milei has been elected as Argentina's next president - after pledging to tackle the country's soaring inflation and high levels of poverty.

Mr Milei - who describes himself as an "anarcho capitalist" and an admirer of Donald Trump - became known for embracing conspiracy theories, as well as brandishing a chainsaw during his campaign rallies.

He must be the right candidate for Argentina if MSM hate him

[Bennevisie]

If Channel 4 News smears him he might just be the right guy for the job.

Very easy: argentian people are sick of socialism! Bulgaria stands with Milei and Argentina! ❤🇦🇷

[zininajid]

How arrogant do you have to be to unironically ask: Can democracy survive? after the people democratically elected a president?

[SuperSaiyenGroyp]

I like how they literally had nothing good to say about his win, very biased reporting.

As an Argentine and a Milei voter, it's very disrespectful to hear this mediocre "journalist" who takes clips out of context dated before he was an actual politician and use that manipulated vision to portrait him. Do you really think almost 15 millon argentinians voted for him for no reason? This biased channel 4 only portraits him out of context and not his brilliant dissertations about economy. Although this international campaign of discredit, you have no idea how happy I am because he's our president now, we still have hard times ahead but this is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel of socialist misery! VIVA LA LIBERTAD CARAJO!

Why is channel 4 ignoring the fact that the Argentinian stock market soaring on the announcement of the election result

[Espectador]

"nobody has any dollars" lil bro, literally everyone in Argentina saves in dollars.

Good luck to him and Argentina. It honestly can't get much worse for a proud country reduced to decades of humiliation by disasterous policies.

[rustyscrapper]

Everyone is hugging and singing and leftists are just losing their minds over it.

[rosixrincones]

It's difficult for the UK and Europe in general to understand what left and right mean in Latin America.

[Bungle-UK]

So you’re calling him ‘right wing’ and ‘populist’ because you don’t like him.

[Jabberstax]

Dear God! Channel 4 news really is a complete joke 😂

[CapitalTeeth]

I'm not going to pretend I'm well-versed on Argentinian politics, but from what I hear, this guy can't be any worse than the last guy.

[MrDucksBill]

I love how common sense is now right wing

[ancietman]

The public across the world are fed up with politicians that just look after themselves and couldn't care less about their country or voters.

[mnthegrs]

Weird when classical liberalism is deemed "far right". Who writes these narratives?

[chorleycc]

Channel 4 - please tell us what your definition of "far right" is? At this point I am starting to believe anyone who can answer the question "what is a women", is far right according to BBC and Channel 4. This guys policies are traditional conservation / libertarian. There is really nothing that could be described as "far right" here.

[shinramiddlemanager]

Lol that the Chainsaw Man reference went right over their head.

[Gray-zibp]

This needs to happen in Britain. We have a terrible conservative party. And even worse Labour party. And fake news on every big media platform . 💯🇬🇧🇯🇲👍
