Argentina’s Milei: Needed Then, Uncertain Now

In a recent Buenos Aires Times editorial, the author reflects on Argentine President Javier Milei’s rise, noting that he may have been what the country needed three years ago. However, the piece cautions that this past relevance does not guarantee Milei will be the best person to guide Argentina through the uncertain years ahead. The editorial underscores a growing ambivalence about Milei’s capacity to navigate the nation’s complex economic and political challenges, suggesting that his earlier appeal may not translate into long‑term effective leadership.
