Four months into his governance, Milei does not rule out re-election

The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, who began his government mandate on December 10, said this Monday that he does not rule out seeking a second term if citizens lor supports and if it meets the “objectives” that have been set.

“If the people determine it, yes. If I meet the objectives set, yes,” Milei said when asked in an interview if he plans to seek re-election in 2027.

The head of state maintained that he seeks to consolidate the far-right formation he leads, La Libertad Avanza, as a national party to “win hard” the 2025 midterm elections.

For these elections, he said that he hopes to achieve an “impressive” result that will allow the ruling party, currently a minority in Parliament, to achieve such a composition in both chambers of Congress that allow it to advance “in all the structural reforms” that it wishes to carry out.

“I am the second president with the best image in the world,” Milei stated in statements to the Neura web channel, after stating that the approval of his administration “overcomes the negative” and that its image ““is at the same levels” as when he took office.

Milei, a libertarian economist, has undertaken a severe fiscal adjustment plan that has hit economic activity, in a scenario of high inflation, which has begun to subside.
