Last Sunday, November 19, the far-right Javier Milei won the presidential elections in Argentina, a result that was recognized by his opponent, the current Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa.
After Milei’s victory, several figures spoke out on social networks, including Gustavo Pedro, president of Colombia.
“The extreme right has won in Argentina; “It is the decision of his society,” Petro expressed on his X account (formerly Twitter).
In the publication, the Colombian president added that it is “sad for Latin America and we will see… neoliberalism no longer has a proposal for society, it cannot respond to the current problems of humanity.”
