🇦🇷 - In yesterday's Argentinian elections, the right-wing Freedom Advances party secured 31.5% of all votes, topping the polls.
The party, led by Javier Milei, is officially a libertarian movement. Nonetheless, Milei has been described as a paleolibertarian and his party's vice-presidential candidate is the daughter of a carapintada (member of a Catholic nationalist group in Argentina's military which attempted to stage several coups in the late 1980s).

🇦🇷 - The center-right Together for Change obtained 29.7% of the vote, while Union for the Fatherland, a center-left group claiming the legacy of former President Juan Perón, secured 28.7%.

These elections do not decide who will be in the Casa Rosada in November - they are a form of open primary, similar to the "jungle primary" in Louisiana.

Once the Ukraine war reaches its conclusion, it will be interesting to see whether Eastern European nationalists return to their previous Euroskepticism (which Poland's national conservative government has begun doing) and perhaps seek a détente with Russia, or continue drawing closer to Brussels and Washington due to their hatred for "Muscovy" (which the Baltics have spent the last ten years doing).
The phrase "between a rock and a hard place" comes to mind.
