Argentina's government is celebrating an unexpected result that astonished pollsters, President Javier Milei, and Peronism alike.
La Libertad Avanza secured almost 41 percent of the national vote, gaining more than 60 new seats in Congress. The ruling party not only won in key provinces such as Santa Fe and Córdoba but also overturned September's result in Buenos Aires Province, narrowly beating Fuerza Patria by turning around a 14-point deficit.
The campaign proved too big a challenge for Taiana.
Author's summary: Milei's victory brings danger of further radicalization.
