Javier Milei's party obtained 40.7% of the votes in the legislative elections, thus consolidating its parliamentary base for economic reforms.

The party of Argentine President Javier Milei, La Libertad Avanza, won the midterm legislative elections with 40.7% of the votes, surpassing the Peronist opposition bloc, Fuerza Patria, which obtained 24.5%.

This victory provides them with a stronger parliamentary base, increasing the number of deputies from 37 to 101 and senators from 6 to 20. Milei stated that the result confirms his mandate from 2023 and will allow him to advance the necessary economic reforms for a fragile economy.

Although he has managed to reduce inflation from over 200% to 31.8%, budget adjustments have led to job losses and reduced economic activity. Analysts suggest that Milei needs to adopt a more pragmatic approach and collaborate with the opposition to secure the necessary majority in parliament. Voter turnout was 67.9%, the lowest since 1983.
