Argentina
Argentina is set to vote in a run-off presidential election with Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa and libertarian outsider Javier Milei as the main contenders.

Milei has been echoing former US President Donald Trump's claims of election fraud, alleging that the system is rigged against him.
Milei has been the only candidate to openly defend Israel's right to self-defense and condemn Islamic terror.

Argentina is set to vote in a run-off presidential election with Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa and libertarian outsider Javier Milei as the main contenders. The winner will replace outgoing center-left President Alberto Fernandez. The election results could have significant implications for the country's economy and international relations.

Milei, a right-wing economist, has gained popularity by criticizing the political class and echoing former US President Donald Trump's claims of election fraud, alleging that the system is rigged against him. This has been suggested as a tactic to energize his base and promote vigilance at polling stations, or to prepare for refusing to concede a loss. The article also discusses the antiquated voting process in Argentina and the challenges Milei's party faces in recruiting enough voting monitors.

On the other hand, Massa, the current economy minister, has distanced himself from polarizing Peronist figures and won the first-round elections with 36.7% of the votes. He promises to protect the economy amidst the severe financial crisis, with inflation over 140%, increasing poverty, and a devaluing currency.

Milei has been the only candidate to openly defend Israel's right to self-defense and condemn Islamic terror. He expressed his admiration for Israel and its culture, and confirmed his intention to move the Argentine embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem if elected. The candidates are close in the polls, with Milei slightly leading.
