On October 22, 2023, general elections will be held in Argentina against the backdrop of a severe financial, economic and social crisis. For the first time since the return of democracy in 1983, forty years ago, a candidate outside the traditional political coalitions (Peronist and traditional right) which have until now structured the country’s political field could win the election. presidential. Anti-system, “outsider”, “anarcho-capitalist”, right-wing populist, liberal-authoritarian, observers compete with qualifiers to describe the Javier Milei phenomenon. Can the libertarian economist, regularly compared to Donald Trump or Jair Bolsonaro, govern Argentina? Can his main competitors, Sergio Massa (candidate from the outgoing Peronist camp) and Patricia Bullrich (conservative right) slow down his rise? What are the challenges of this election for Argentine society, Latin America and the trajectory of the second South American power in the dynamics of global geopolitical recompositions?
