Libertarian Javier Milei, With Close Connections To Chabad, Elected New President of Argentina

by CrownHeights.info

Libertarian Javier Milei, an economic revolutionist in Argentina, was elected as the new president on Sunday, winning 56% of the vote. Milei has been staunch supporter of Israel and has deep connections to Chabad.

Milei’s win in the Argentine election overshadowed his rival with 56% of the vote versus 44% for his rival, Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa, who conceded defeat Sunday.

Massa in a speech said he had congratulated Milei and said the libertarian now needed to show his readiness to rule. “From tomorrow the responsibility of providing certainty belongs to Milei,” he said.

Milei has pledged economic “shock therapy” for Argentina, and his plans include shutting the central bank, ditching the peso, and slashing spending.
