Milei malaise?

Three years into his presidency, Argentina’s eccentric libertarian leader is facing growing political pressure. Milei took office promising to reign in Argentina’s runaway inflation, and he has largely delivered. But that success has come at a cost. Sweeping cuts to social spending and a struggling labor market are increasingly weighing on Argentines. And now, voters' priorities are shifting. In October, for the first time in a year, respondents ranked “jobs” as their top concern, overtaking both corruption and inflation. With a national election next October, Milei now faces a challenge: convincing voters that his economic reforms were worth the pain.
