The practical test for Javier Milei begins
Argentina is on the verge of political change: Javier Milei will be sworn in as the new president on Sunday. However, conflicts are already emerging in Congress and new foreign policy priorities, especially in relation to the US and Europe, raise questions about Argentina's future direction. The path President Milei takes will not only determine the country's economic recovery, but will also have a significant impact on the acceptance of his reforms among the population and on Argentina's international relations.

Javier Milei will be the next president of Argentina
With Javier Milei as the new president, Argentina is facing a political transformation. The transition to the presidency poses challenges in the dialogue with Peronist President Alberto Fernández and in the complex composition of Congress. Milei's reform agenda and international relations are causing uncertainty. Positive market reactions after the election give hope for economic recovery, while the focus is on implementing structural reforms and preserving democratic institutions.
