Argentine President Javier Milei's government gained momentum over the weekend as candidates he endorsed emerged victorious in Buenos Aires' legislative polls. With almost all votes counted, Milei's favored list, led by spokesperson Manuel Adorni, secured 30.1% of the votes, according to official figures.
On Sunday night, Milei celebrated the victory with his cabinet, declaring it a turning point for libertarian ideals. Leandro Santoro, a frontrunner in prior polls aligned with the Peronist movement, followed with 27.4%.
