Argentina: Milei won the runoff, capitalizing on the strong discontent with the PJ government.
FinallyJavier Miley, the libertarian candidate, won by a wide margin, and before the official results are inMassa he already acknowledged defeat. Milei is reaching the 56% against him 44% that Sergio Massa obtained, being very far from the victory he was looking for. More than twelve million citizens voted against the government and thus our country enters an important political change, When Peronism centered on Unión por la Patria lost the political power it has had since 2019 and make way with his defeat, to a Milei government, with all that that implies.
Throughout the election campaign, We repeatedly analyze that, although a segment of society was inclined towards voting useful to stop the rise of the far-right libertarian, At the same time, in these elections, the notable deterioration in the living conditions of millions was acting strongly and that could be expressed in a strong vote to punish the government.. The libertarian bet on that and alsoMacri giving support in this runoff.

This Sunday was what was expressed mostly and Milei will be the next president of the country along with Villarruel as vice president.. The question hanging in the air is clear.: How could such a character win?? And the answer is just as clear: won due to the disaster of Peronism in power, that again and again, In these four years it defrauded millions and opened the doors to discontent that was expressed in an electoral shift to the right and above all in the emergence of a variant outside the traditional parties., which precisely capitalizes on the discontent of millions with the force that has been governing the country and also shows political backwardness.
It is not ruled out that, from media spokespersons of the ruling party and government officials, arguments arise to justify this defeat. But if we seriously analyze the facts, Here we once again glimpse the failure of a project that, when it reaches the government, as in this case after Macri, maintains the same economic model, adjust, poverty increases, generates inflation, skyrocketing of the dollar and makes the reality for millions of families of not making ends meet. All for having started by legalizing Macrismo's fraudulent debt with the IMF and tying itself to the Fund for many years, losing sovereignty and power of own decision..

With that disastrous political and economic strategy, peronism, in all its variants, He was deteriorating the living conditions of millions to the maximum and in this way he is responsible for Milei's political rise., who precisely advanced to win, navigating in the midst of the deep crisis deepened by the current government, of which Massa is its main minister and directly responsible for the main measures carried out. Added to the fact that he did not consistently confront the right, but in the PASO he helped with the assembly of the list and prosecutors. When they saw it difficult, They installed the democracy or dictatorship campaign, and now they are the first to congratulate those who represent that “dictatorship”.
The result also shows the failure of the policy promoted by possible sectors that insist year after year on fighting within the PJ or within fronts led by that party., wanting to convince thousands that positive changes can be achieved there. Nothing is further from reality. The PJ is an essential party of the Argentine bourgeois regime and as such, When he governs he never touches the interests of large capitalists and corporations, and by not doing so, it always navigates between adjustments and some other partial and insufficient measure that fails to improve the lives of millions.. Conversely, generates disappointment in his own voters and supporters and ends, as can be seen again now, opening the door to the arrival of right-wing variants. The PJ is no longer going, is no alternative, you have to build something big and different, from the left.
From theMST atLeft Front Unity We have been fighting for years to strengthen an alternative political force to Peronism and all the rights., and more than ever we will continue doing it. In this runoff we called not to vote for Milei and we did not campaign for a blank vote, understanding those who wanted to defeat the denialist libertarian, although our party did not vote for Massa either, understanding that his adjustment project and delivery to the IMF could not be supported by the left..
Now, to those millions of workers, workers and young people who saw and see a great danger in Milei, We call on you to prepare in unity to face the next Milei government. A new time will come, difficult, complex and with a far-right political project that will try to liquidate social and democratic rights, and the only way to stop it will be with the fight in the streets. It is organization and mobilization that will put us in better conditions to confront attempts to cut our rights.. As we said repeatedly throughout this campaign, We must prepare strongly for the country that is coming.. There the role of the left will be very important and necessary, since just as the PJ was unable to stop the extreme right at the electoral level, You won't face him on the street either., Let us remember that Massa himself proposed a government of national unity including libertarians and in the last debate he acknowledged that he also received Milei to chat at his offices of the Frente Renovador. What is coming is the frontal political and social fight against a new right-wing project in the government, and in the face of this there is no need to repeat failed recipes together with the PJ and his project, but to strengthen the Unity Left Front more than ever, fighting at the same time for it to change and improve, and summon thousands and thousands of defrauded workers and young people, if you really want to play a prominent and positive role in the great struggles and social upheavals that will come.
