Argentina Decides Fate of Milei’s Austerity Agenda

Argentina is set to vote in legislative elections on Sunday, which will test support for President Javier Milei’s free-market reforms and austerity measures.

The president’s party, La Libertad Avanza, aims to boost its minority in Congress to maintain investor confidence and maintain support from U.S. President Donald Trump. The election will take place in half of Argentina’s lower Chamber of Deputies and a third of the Senate.

The Peronist opposition movement currently holds the largest minority in both houses, while Milei’s party has only 37 deputies and six senators. The White House and foreign investors have been impressed by the government’s ability to reduce monthly inflation, achieve a fiscal surplus, and enact sweeping deregulation measures.

However, Milei’s popularity has fallen due to public frustration with his cuts to public spending and a corruption scandal linked to his sister. Political experts predict that more than 35% of the vote would be a positive outcome for Milei’s government and could allow him to block opposition lawmakers’ efforts to overturn his vetoes against laws that threaten Argentina’s fiscal balance.

The Love Island villa was thrown into chaos once again tonight, when the Islanders learnt there would be a shock recoupling. After a dramatic week, the power was in the boys hands – and Toni and Malisha’s fate was left in new bombshell Harrison’s hands.

Bombshells Malisha and Toni were left single after Dejon, who had been getting to know Malisha chose to couple up with original partner Meg. Toni’s partner Conor chose to couple up with bombshell Emily.

When it came to Dejon’s turn, he chose to couple up with “my Meg,” leaving Malisha standing single alongside Toni and Yasmin – who was later picked by Shea. The Islanders were left wondering whether Toni or Malisha would be dumped from the Island – but they were left in shock when they were told they were both vulnerable through a text.

They were then told that their fate would lie in new bombshell Harrison’s hands, as both would date the 22-year-old. Only one would return to the villa, and that choice would be Harrison’s.

The 22-year-old footballer from Derby, but resides in Miami, was left waiting for both just outside the villa – and their fate was in his hands. As both went on a date with Harrison, it was down to him to decide who he’d be taking back to the villa, and who would be sent packing.

Both had a good date, but fans have already worked out who he’d be taking home after spotting a huge clue. Fans believe he’ll pick Toni, as the pair share a connection residing in the US.

“Miami…..yh he’s off with Toni #LoveIslandUK #LoveIsland,” said one, as another penned: “They set up Malisha omg sending in a guy who lives in America and likes American girls wtf #LoveIsland.”

“Lives in Miami? This is our guy for Toni #LoveIsland,” said a third – as the pair found out they attended the same college.

Should Harrison picks Toni, it means Malisha will be dumped from the villa. “OH ITS GOING TO BE MALISHA F**K NO,” exclaimed one upset fan, while another said: “So Malisha is donezo, so sad. Feel like Harrison had a better date with her than toni but he’ll pick toni.”

However, before his arrival in the villa, Harrison revealed he doesn’t have a problem with a long distance relationship. “I’ve done long distance before so it’s not really an issue for me. I don’t know if or when I’m going back to America. But that’s not an issue. If you like a person you’ll make it work.”

However, he did admit he likes American girls. “I do really like American girls. Their personality is slightly different, in general they’re more confident and go for what they want. But I like a challenge, I like a bit of the chase,” he said.

It was an intense night for Dejon prior to the recoupling as a third girl threw a spanner in the works as Yasmin had a flirty proposition for him after he’d complimented both her and Toni’s outfits.

Yasmin then asked: “Would you ever have a threesome with me and Toni?” leaving a stunned Dejon almost choking on his drink. Yasmin laughed the comment off as “intrusive thoughts,” and luckily (or unluckily) he was pulled away by Meg and Malisha for a chat.

How will things unfold in the villa going forward?
