このコンテンツについて
Javier Milei’s last few days have been a saga of dramatic political shifts, media storms, and personal controversies that could shape his long-term legacy as Argentina’s president. After months of pushing sweeping libertarian reforms and portraying himself as an anti-corruption outsider, Milei suffered a major political setback this week, according to Euronews, with his La Libertad Avanza party facing a landslide defeat in Buenos Aires province. The party fell to just 34 percent of the vote while Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s Peronists surged to 47 percent, casting serious doubt on Milei’s ability to expand his radical agenda at the upcoming legislative elections. He conceded the loss was a "clear defeat" and publicly vowed to accelerate his reform campaign despite the result, a sign that he’s refusing to back down even as his position weakens.
The aftermath got even more turbulent when, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, a fast-spreading bribery scandal engulfed the Milei administration, centering on his sister and chief of staff Karina Milei. Secret audio leaks implicated Karina in an alleged kickback scheme inside the national disability agency. While Javier Milei has denied the allegations, the unfolding scandal has stoked public fury and eroded his image as a break-from-the-past reformer. This is not her first controversy; earlier this year both siblings denied involvement in the disastrous Libra memecoin crash, which cost investors over 250 million dollars and triggered US court action. Karina’s repeated removal from recent Milei campaign events amid heckling crowds shows just how toxic the allegations have become, capped by a viral parody song making the rounds at Buenos Aires nightclubs.
Meanwhile, according to Courthouse News and Buenos Aires Times, opposition leaders are seizing the moment. Governor Axel Kicillof, now positioned as the face of resurgent Peronism, used his post-election speech to denounce Milei’s heavy-handed austerity, warning that voters would not tolerate slashed public works or neglected vulnerable groups. Anonymous sources tell Argentinian outlets there is growing pressure within Milei’s party for a shakeup at the top, especially regarding Karina’s role—a sentiment echoed by analysts who describe her as Milei’s "Achilles heel." However, there are no verified reports yet of a pending resignation.
Milei has remained active on social media, attempting to rally his supporters and downplay the scandals as Peronist "smear campaigns," but engagement numbers are notably down compared to previous months. It’s clear that the coming weeks could be make-or-break for Milei’s image, not just with voters but within his own movement.
