Argentines have elected far-right outsider Javier Milei, 53, as their new president. With almost all votes counted, Mr Milei had won close to 56% in the decisive run-off, ahead of his left-wing... President Javier Milei tells Davos that Argentina is an "example of a new way of doing politics, which is about telling people the truth to their faces." A new congress wrote a new constitution and elected Bernardino Rivadavia as President in the process. [2] Rivadavia was the first President of Argentina. However, he resigned shortly after and the 1826 Constitution was repealed. The Argentine provinces then organized themselves as a confederation without a central head of state. Argentina's new far-right president has vowed to deliver economic "shock treatment" in his first speech after formally taking office.
