Argentine brothers have a habit of feeling exceptional. However, what they just repeated on Sunday is something that happened in many parts of the world, including Brazil.
A great frustration with the political class results in the electoral success of those who promise to end this same political class, presenting solutions as radical as they are unlikely to be realized.
This happens because the political system remains unchanged, increasing voters’ dissatisfaction and rejection of this system, in which they live and choose their candidates.
Despite this, the impact of the electoral triumph of an extreme right-wing libertarian in the Argentine primaries is significant.
The celebration around the name of this politician, Javier Milei, in a way, overshadowed what was the most spectacular defeat in these primaries: that of Peronism in power.
This, in which Lula and the Brazilian government apparently placed their hopes, committing yet another basic foreign policy error.
For Argentines, the scenario ahead is one of extraordinary uncertainty, exceptional only in terms of the severity of the economic and political crisis.
22 years ago, Argentina was crying out in unison: “That everyone leave”, referring to all politicians.
A generation later, Milei’s victory is the same clamor directed at politicians: that they all stand down. The problem is that the situation just got worse.
