Far-right libertarian Javier Milei has been elected president of Argentina, defeating centrist Peronist Sergio Massa. Milei is a climate crisis denier who has proposed banning abortion and easing restrictions on guns. He has vowed to shut down Argentina's central bank, replace the nation's currency with the U.S. dollar and crack down on women's and LGBTQ people's rights. We discuss what else to expect from Milei's presidency with Argentine feminist activist Veronica Gago and Franco Metaza, the director of international relations for the Argentine Senate.
