Bloomberg: Despite being embroiled in the LIBRA scandal, Argentine President Milei may not pay a significant political price
ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, it remains unclear how Milei will be affected by the ongoing LIBRA scandal with 10 months to go before the midterm elections in Argentina. The opposition quickly threatened to take legal action and initiate impeachment proceedings, but progress on impeachment is unlikely due to the need for a two-thirds majority in Congress.The main center-right party of former market-friendly president Mauricio Macri, who supports Milei's reforms, has expressed disappointment so far but rejected the Peronist opposition's attempts to remove Milei.Pollsters indicate that Milei may still avoid significant political costs as inflation is declining, wages are rising, and the economy is growing. His approval rating has hovered around 47% for months, while all other political parties in Argentina have lower and more fragmented support. However, this incident has once again raised concerns about his sometimes erratic personality and decisions.Meanwhile, Milei will travel to Washington this week, hoping to meet with Trump and gain his support to secure more funding from the International Monetary Fund for Argentina, while a new plan is still under negotiation, and Argentina may also receive tariff exemptions from Trump.
