REUTERS/Mariana Nedelcu/File PhotoBUENOS AIRES -Argentines began voting on Sunday in a national election where a far-right libertarian leads the race, a shift in the political landscape due to fallout from the country's worst economic crisis in two decades.
Centrist Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa and conservative Patricia Bullrich are trailing him by a small margin, and pollsters expect no outright winner, meaning a runoff vote will be needed. The polls close at 6 p.m. local time and first results are expected at 9 p.m. . Milei's recipe of shock therapy includes pledges to dollarize the economy, shut the central bank, slash the size of government and privatize state entities. He has criticized China, favors looser gun laws, opposes abortion and is anti-feminist.
"The world is complicated and we aren't immune to that," she said as she voted on Sunday."The right is advancing everywhere and that we have characters like Milei is unthinkable."
