The dollar is stable and exports are booming. Why is Milei’s popularity in the toilet?
The president's image is tanking despite economic gains, amid corruption claims and a weak job market La entrada The dollar is stable and exports are booming. Why is Milei’s popularity in the toilet? se publicó primero en Buenos Aires Herald .
President Javier Milei has delivered on several key campaign promises, such as slashing inflation and stabilizing the peso-dollar exchange rate, while also keeping his zero-deficit goal. However, despite these economic achievements, his popularity is rapidly declining. Surveys indicate that many Argentines are still struggling financially, and the improvements in the economy haven't yet reached their pockets.
The decline in Milei's support can be attributed to a corruption scandal involving his former Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni. The investigation began in February, leading to widespread outrage and causing many to believe that Adorni was part of the "political caste" Milei vowed to dismantle. Adorni was dismissed from his position in June, but the damage had already been done.
Milei's approval ratings, which had previously been among the highest since he took office, have now plummeted to some of their lowest levels. The decline is attributed to a combination of factors, including the Adorni scandal and the president's failure to fulfill his pledge of economic stability.
