Argentina's President Milei Fights for Political Survival
Argentina, Buenos AiresFri Oct 24 2025
Argentina's President Javier Milei is in a tough spot. His libertarian policies have stirred up a lot of trouble. The country is facing a big money crisis. The peso, Argentina's currency, is losing value fast. The government is trying to stop this by using up its savings.
Milei promised big changes when he became president. He wanted to cut government spending. But now, people are not happy. Many jobs have been lost. Prices for basic things like food and medicine have gone up. This has made life hard for many Argentines.
The upcoming midterm elections are very important for Milei. His party does not have many seats in Congress. This makes it hard for him to get his plans approved. If his party does not do well in the elections, it will be even harder for him to make changes.
Milei's problems have been made worse by scandals. His sister, who is very close to him, has been accused of taking bribes. Both of them say they are innocent. But the damage has already been done. People are angry and protesting.
The U. S. has stepped in to help. They have offered a big loan to support the peso. But this has not made everyone happy. Some Americans think their government should focus on their own problems first.
Despite all the problems, Milei still has supporters. Many young people believe in him. They think he can bring hope to Argentina. But the future is uncertain. The elections will show if Milei can keep his power or if he will lose more support.
