Argentina far right candidate Javier Milei wins presidential election

At the end of the presidential election poll in Argentina this Sunday evening, the ultraliberal candidate Javier Milei was elected President of the Republic with 55.95% of the votes, according to the first official partial results. His Peronist rival Sergio Massa, the current Minister of the Economy, conceded defeat with 44.04% of the votes. The result between the two candidates, however, looked close, while the country is plunged into a serious economic crisis.
