Pro i ArgjentinësBitcoin Kandidati presidencial Javier Milei forcon zgjedhjet e balotazhit
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 124.4% në gusht, niveli i tij më i lartë që nga viti 1991.
Zgjedhjet e ardhshme të balotazhit, të planifikuara për në 19 nëntor, do ta shohin Milein të përballet me Sergio Massa, i cili siguroi 46.7% të votave në raundin e parë, por humbi pragun e shumicës së nevojshme për të kërkuar fitoren e plotë. Për të fituar plotësisht, secilit kandidat do t'i duhej të kërkonte 40% të votave dhe të priste kundërshtarin e tij politik me 10% të votave, për shkak të rregullave zgjedhore.
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.
