This Is What the Street Thinks About Javier Milei's Government

Javier Milei is already a global phenomenon. The Argentine president has achieved great popularity, not only in Argentina but also in Spain. EDATV has learned this when it went out to ask the public about this president.

"Spain needs a Milei and a chainsaw," a man commented to this outlet. This euphoria for the Argentine is understandable considering his achievements.

With his famous chainsaw as a metaphor, Milei intends to drastically cut public spending, something very well received. "I think it's great, Sánchez should follow his example," another man assured.

On December 10, the Argentine marked one year since he assumed the presidency in Argentina. Although Milei had no political experience, in just one year of his term, he established himself as a central figure. He dominated national politics and made his mark internationally.

As an economist, Milei faced significant challenges, including the highest inflation rate worldwide and insecurity. In his first year, he achieved notable progress: monthly inflation was reduced from 25% to 2.7%, while the annual rate dropped from 290% to 107%.

In terms of security, violence in Rosario decreased considerably, managing to reduce deaths in the city most affected by drug trafficking. The protests also decreased, improving daily life in Buenos Aires.

These achievements favored his remarkable approval rating, which is around 56%. Milei broke with traditional schemes, as he never had a consolidated political party backing him, something uncommon in Argentine politics.

His movement, La Libertad Avanza, emerged as a coalition in 2021. Although he achieved the presidency without a firm structure, the support of his followers was essential.

Milei's figure resonated in a country disenchanted with traditional parties, such as Kirchnerism and Macrism. He knew how to leverage social media to establish a direct connection with the people.

Milei's Support for EDATV

The Argentine has shown support for journalists from this outlet, such as Vito Quiles. Let's remember that the EDATV journalist has been a victim of attacks against the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente.

Javier Milei has shown his support for Quiles through his social media. "My solidarity with the Spanish journalist Vito Quiles, who is being persecuted by Pedro Sánchez's government after reporting that one of his ministers used an official car to go to a Taylor Swift concert," Milei expressed.

"If an official from our government wanted to imprison a journalist for reporting news, all the local progressives would be crying dictatorship. But no. Since it's a leftist government, they play dumb. In the end, they are all accomplices of authoritarian socialism," the Argentine leader concluded.
