When I was down south a few weeks ago in MVD I was chatting to a chap who was the husband of a school friend, who is an Argentino. Not sure what exactly, but I think this chap was a retired politician. Anyway, he had invited Milei to lunch a few weeks earlier so that Milei could explain his policies to him (so must have some clout this chap).
Anyway, he said that Milei has (like most politicians) a public persona to attract the voter (so definitely a bit of a character) but his policies should be good for the country. Hope it works out, because Argentina is a country with enormous potential, but it has been so badly mismanaged for decades.
