Javier Milei endorsed by defeated rival who once sued him for defamation

Move by Patricia Bullrich, who placed third in Argentina's presidential election, is not backed by other parts of her alliance

The defeated Argentinian presidential candidate Patricia Bullrich, who came third in Sunday's election, has endorsed the libertarian firebrand Javier Milei for next month's runoff vote.

Bullrich took 23.8% of the vote in the first round, finishing third behind the surprise frontrunner - the economy minister, Sergio Massa, who won 36.7% - and Milei, who took just over 30%.
