Le Monde Revisits Javier Milei's Rise as Ultraliberal Economist Who Tapped Argentine Anger

French newspaper Le Monde has revisited the political trajectory of Argentine President Javier Milei ahead of his expected visit to Paris on September 30 for an event focused on his country.

The retrospective notes that five years earlier, on September 14, 2021, Le Monde covered Milei's still-discreet entry into political life during a local election in Buenos Aires, a modest starting point for a figure who would go on to become Argentina's polarizing, ultraconservative president.

Milei, an economist known for ultraliberal economic views, has been described as having capitalized on widespread anger among Argentines, a dynamic that helped propel his political rise.

The upcoming Paris event dedicated to Argentina is expected to draw attention to Milei's economic policies and his broader political impact since taking office.

Further details of the Paris event's agenda were not included in the available excerpt.
