Argentines have elected far-right outsider Javier Milei, 53, as their new president.
With almost all votes counted, Mr Milei had won close to 56% in the decisive run-off, ahead of his left-wing rival, Sergio Massa, with 44%.
The radical newcomer’s victory has been described as “a political earthquake”.
It has been welcomed by like-minded politicians such as US ex-President Donald Trump, who said Mr Milei would “Make Argentina Great Again”.
Magnificent. Javier Milei has won…Argentina will have a new president.
Condolences to the world’s Leftist media. They haven’t been this triggered since Meloni.
