Why are Argentina’s young people turning right, not left – and what does Javier Milei really represent?
In this exclusive interview from Buenos Aires, Adam Creighton sits down with Federico Fernández, CEO of the think-tank, We Are Innovation, about Argentina’s political earthquake and the radical reforms now underway.
Adam and Federico discuss:
- How support for Milei among 18–25-year-olds has surged to 77 per cent.
- Why Argentina is a “tax hell” with 160 different taxes.
- Fernández’s proposal for a single flat tax on people and companies.
- Absurd taxes on electronics that make an iPhone triple the price.
- Whether Milei is actually comparable to Trump or Bolsonaro.
- Why Fernández sees Milei more like the free-market reformers of 1990s.
If you are interested in youth politics, economic reform and the future of classical liberalism, this conversation from the streets of Buenos Aires is a must-watch.
