Monte Grande, a suburb of Buenos Aires, is an example of the rapid change in Argentina's political mood.

It's where the Peronist opposition that advocates for strong state intervention in the economy and social justice, won local elections a month and a half ago. 

But this Sunday, they were beaten by Javier Milei's party La Libertad Avanza, who are dismantling those policies on the federal level.

“La Libertad Avanza! We need a change. We no longer believe in the previous government.”

After the Peronist's victory in September in the province of Buenos Aires, where almost four out of ten Argentinians voted, the markets collapsed and the peso devalued... until Milei got his ally US president Trump to pledge a $20 billion bailout.

But Trump said HIS intervention wouldn't happen without a Milei victory. At a time when voters are primarily concerned with the economy.

"I'm afraid of uncertainty, more than anything else, about what is going to happen today with prices."

Analyst Shila Vilker believes that the local election results sparked fears among certain voters about the loss of Trump's support.

“The economic and political support from the US, which was, I would say, conditional on results, had quite an effect. And, of course, this is a vote of rejection: a no to the past. The issue of inflation control was probably also a convincing factor. 

Economist Marina Dal Poggetto warns that without Trump's bailout, Argentina's economy would be in a different situation.

“Without it, the inflation dynamic would most likely have been different, and so would the election results.”

The economist warns that Milei will have to open up to dialogue with part of the opposition in order to pass his reforms and prevent the peso from going from DEvalued to OVERvalued.

Although Milei's party and financial markets are celebrating, a stable economic future in Argentina is not guaranteed.
