Milei Promises Change as Argentina Faces Financial Crisis
President Javier Milei urges supporters to continue their support in the upcoming legislative elections.
Argentina's President Javier Milei concluded his mid-term election campaign on Thursday with a promise for change amidst a persistent financial crisis affecting the country.
Addressing a rally in Rosario, Argentina's third most populous city and main grain exporting port, he emphasized that "Argentina will change" and asked for continued support in the upcoming legislative elections.
The elections are crucial as they determine whether Milei, whose party is in the minority, will gain more power in parliament in the second half of his term.Milei's rally in Rosario, which felt more like a concert than a traditional political event due to its energetic atmosphere and rock and roll music, attracted thousands of supporters.
Among them was Alejandra Paso, a 67-year-old retiree who expressed her faith in Milei despite the austerity policy that has particularly affected her demographic.
The rally took place in a city heavily impacted by economic difficulties, with many questioning how they will secure their livelihoods.Argentina is currently grappling with an economic meltdown, exacerbated by political scandals and recent allegations involving key members of Milei's party.
Despite these challenges, Milei's party is focusing on securing votes in the Rosario area to counter potential defeats in major provinces like Buenos Aires.
However, skepticism remains among some voters, who express concerns about the feasibility of repeating the 2023 victory in Rosario and question Milei's ability to govern effectively without obstacles in Congress.The financial crisis has also led to protests, with signs calling for better working conditions and an end to pension cuts.
In response, a protest march was held in Rosario, highlighting the city's struggle despite being a major exporter of cereals.
The demonstrators expressed frustration over the economic situation, wondering about their future as they witness goods being exported while facing uncertainty about tomorrow's meals.Overall, President Javier Milei's promise for change resonates with his supporters amid an ongoing financial crisis in Argentina.
As legislative elections approach, the fate of his administration and its ability to navigate through political challenges will be closely observed.
