Buenos Aires | Argentina elected libertarian outsider Javier Milei as its new president on Sunday (Monday AEDT), rolling the dice on an outsider with radical views to fix an economy battered by triple-digit inflation, a looming recession and rising poverty.
Official results showed Mr Milei with near 56 per cent versus 44 per cent for his rival, Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa, who conceded in a speech. His candidacy was hampered by the country’s worst economic crisis in two decades while he has been at the helm.
