    I tried to look up this guy’s policy but every other paragraph on his Wikipedia page is a quote from. Someone describing him as various economically conservative candidates from around the world.

    Here’s what I got

    -Wants to adopt the US dollar

    -Decrease taxes and size of government

    -Free health care and education restricted to Argentinans

    -Neutral on LGBT/Trans (but says trans surgery shouldn’t be covered)

    -Pro legalizing drugs/prostitution

    -Anti Abortion

    Any Argentinians please feel free to correct this, my one source was Wikipedia.

    Also from an American perspective it sounds like he wants to strengthen ties with the US.

      How do they get free health care and education while reducing taxes and the size of government?

      Always with the reducing taxes…

          Per his wiki I believe he does support sex work (as an individual having agency over their own body) but the abortion topic he views the unborn child inside a mother’s womb as separate from the mother.

          Basically he considers life to begin before birth.

        Because they seem to already have gov paid health care and education, he just believes that foreigners shouldn’t be able to show up not pay taxes and get free treatment or a free education.

        For actual citizens there doesn’t seem to be much change. It seemed to me that he supports both just not for tourists.

          he just believes that foreigners shouldn’t be able to show up not pay taxes and get free treatment or a free education.

          I don’t think that should be the case, but I understand their reasons for doing it.

      He’s pro-military (his vicepresident was friends with Videla), he doesn’t have the means to actually dollarize the economy and he also has absolutely no political structure or support to implement his idiotic ideas.

      Even if he is elected (and that’s a big if) he won’t be able to make any changes and would probably not be able to complete the 4-year term.

      I mean. This doesn’t seem all that radical nor bad, depending on your political opinions.

      Also, comparisons to Trump are ridiculous. Trump is the furthest thing from libertarianism as you can get.

        Aww that’s not fair, he has plenty in common with internet libertarians; he’s greedy, puts his own self-interest above even those he is supposed to love, is obsessed with money and stuffing as much of it into his own pockets as he can, doesn’t think anything through, etc.

        Honestly, the highest bidder could have bought his soul and deep down, isn’t that what truly makes someone libertarian?

        My gripe with the comparison to Trump wasn’t even that they made it. It’s more so that the Wikipedia article does it at least 7 different times right in the middle of the political views and positions sections.

          I wouldn’t take any wikipedia article related to argentinian politics either in spanish or english too seriously.

          They are strongly biased and opinion based.

          That being said, i think he actually said that he was a Trump-fan…

          Say what you want, i live in the future, im already thinking who to vote in February
