Argentine President Javier Milei’s coalition won Argentina’s midterm elections with 40.7% of the vote, defeating Peronists by 9 points and even carrying their Buenos Aires stronghold.

[The victory is significant](https://www.cato.org/blog/resounding-win-mileis-reform-agenda-argentina): Milei will have veto-proof protection in Congress and equal standing with Peronists. This strengthens his position to advance trade liberalization, deregulation, and dollarization.

Cato scholar [Marcos Falcone](https://www.cato.org/people/marcos-falcone) is available to discuss the economic implications of Milei’s expanded mandate and Argentina’s path toward free-market reform. Please contact Madison: [mmiller@​cato.​org](mailto:mmiller@cato.org).
