In the cycle of conversations Argentina, you’ll understand soonFernando Rosso talks with intellectual, political and journalistic leaders with the aim of thinking about the country’s problems and especially the libertarian experiment, from a medium-distance perspective. The challenge is to get out above the devilish labyrinth of the current situation.
We took advantage of Andrés Malamud’s (political scientist and doctor in political science) visit to Argentina to preview the first episode.
In this dialogue, Malamud analyses the international context of an ageing Europe haunted by a ghost: the far right. He defines the coordinates that could decide the close American elections and their possible impact on Argentina governed by Javier Milei. He unfolds his view of the international scene through the prism of a “watered-down” era…, at least for now.
He considers Milei to be a “globalist”, precisely what the far-right family hates most at an international level; the nationalist “particularism” in this project is embodied by the vice president: Victoria Villarruel.
He believes that the libertarian president combines great rhetorical dogmatism with political pragmatism. He believes that Milei’s support is made up of two elements: expectations and disinflation.
He is somewhat irritated by the fact that parties are now called “spaces,” although he believes that the political party organizations typical of the 20th century retain a certain vitality.
He sees authoritarian tendencies in Milei derived from personal characteristics, but does not believe that she expresses an authoritarian project like that of Jair Bolsonaro.
He defines —not without audacity— that the “plebeianism” of Argentine society was expressed in some way in Milei, that the “gorilla” soul prevailed in the PRO and he does not deprive himself of some advice for the Argentine left.
