Argentina: The 'Milei Episode' and the Need to Rebuild a Popular Bloc

A post-election analysis of the far-right phenomenon in Argentina. It argues that Milei is not an accident, but the result of political and economic continuities. The text calls for politicizing inequality, building autonomous popular power, and rethinking the state, abandoning insufficient progressivist strategies to create a genuine turning point.


Argentina: The 'Milei Episode' and the Need to Rebuild a Popular Bloc

**General Information** The situation in Argentina after the elections on October 26, 2025, confirms that the "Milei" episode was not a one-time event. The extreme policy of the Argentinian Milei, which led to high posts, the result of long and anti-democratic processes, associated with the liberation of the economy and the use of economic elites, is being tested. The expert Miguel Maese checks whether these phenomena are not isolated from the internal political and social dynamics of the country.

**Details** According to an analysis, the Argentine public was divided into two opposing groups. The first prefers real and anti-democratic institutions, supporting not only non-colonial methods of management. The second part of the public, not focusing on the goal and social pressure, strives to preserve its bourgeois in the aspect of anti-imperialist solidarity, and not to manage it.

"Habría que politizar esto, no, prevertirlo en antropología, y no administrarlo," — says the author. It seems that it is important to use social discontent as a tool for transformations, and not to elevate it.

**Key Problems** Non-liberal institutions and state structures, under the influence of "progressive" authorities, did not manage to establish themselves in the structure of the state, despite the fact that they were systemically excluded from it. They systematically allowed the state to protest against the economic interests and block any democratic initiatives. These structures were not designed for the active participation of subordinate and marginalized groups.

It is also necessary to create a new nation — a national and one, based on its principles, with capitalization. To do this, it is necessary to focus on the participation in the policy of working people, core nations and other marginal groups.

**Prizes and Recommendations** It is necessary to choose strategies that provide a certain integration of new into the system, while saving its structure. At the same time, these approaches do not lead to real changes. It is necessary to focus on the initiatives of the authorities and organizations, which include non-presupposed ones.

"Hay que mantener estas estructuras de gobierno como "real nación" y volvernos a los hechos, que están basados en los principios que nos," — recommends Mase.

**Perspectives and Challenges** Before the creators of progressive sils stands a difficult task — to create a new political platform, which could be an alternative to the initiatives of Milei. This requires not only political work, but also the work of the block with the created people.

"Necesitamos crear nuevas subjetividades públicas y públicas: más de alguna forma de folclore, documentos históricos y verticales, más FERFor representativos o técnicos," — says the author.

**Conclusions** Maze predicts that the ultracentrist will not succeed by itself. From the situation, which he calls "the priority and the historical importance," requires a new synthesis, new forms of solidarity, new ways of thinking and a new approach to the theme, which is lower.

"Amor, que debemos usar, debe ser activo, y su aplicación debe estar dirigida a lo que es," — he concludes.
