Abstract

This article examines the rise of Javier Milei, a political figure in Argentina who has gained popularity among his supporters. Milei is seen as a messianic figure and a folk-hero, particularly in light of the country's increasing hunger and economic stagnation. The article delves into the failures of previous administrations and intellectuals in addressing these issues, and how Milei has capitalized on popular discontent. It also explores the influence of feminism and identity politics on Argentina's political landscape. Overall, the article provides an analysis of the political climate in Argentina and the factors contributing to Milei's rise. The author of the article is a writer who has published political articles in various publications and has also written poetry and performed at poetry festivals. [Extracted from the article]
