Argentína profiBitcoin Javier Milei elnökjelölt kikényszeríti a megismételt választást
In a surprising twist in Argentina's presidential election, pro-Bitcoin candidate Javier Gerardo Milei has emerged as a formidable contender, forcing a run-off election against current Economy Minister Sergio Massa after the first round of voting.
Javier Milei, a libertarian economist who has vowed to shut down the nation's central bank and expressed support for Bitcoin, managed to secure 31.2% of the vote, a remarkable achievement for a candidate with limited prior political exposure.
Milei's passionate advocacy for economic reform have resonated with a significant portion of the electorate. In August, Milei won the most votes in the country's primary election, a fact owed to the nation's ongoing economic crisis.
In past remarks, Milei has said he will address Argentina's chronic economic woes, a message struck a chord with disillusioned voters. Argentina's annual inflation rate was augusztusban 124.4%.1991 óta a legmagasabb szint.
A következő, november 19-re kitűzött második választáson Milei Sergio Massával mérkőzik meg, aki az első fordulóban a szavazatok 46.7%-át szerezte meg, de nem érte el a győzelemhez szükséges többségi küszöböt. A végső győzelemhez bármelyik jelöltnek a szavazatok 40%-át kellett volna megszereznie, és a választási szabályok miatt a szavazatok 10%-ával vezetnie kellett volna politikai ellenfelét.
The outcome of the run-off could have a profound impact on Argentina's economic policies and its role in the global cryptocurrency landscape.
Investors and crypto enthusiasts worldwide are closely watching this electoral showdown, anticipating its potential implications on the adoption of Bitcoin, and whether the nation could follow El Salvador's landmark legal tender law, which in 2021 made the cryptocurrency a payment method across the country.
