Argentina: Milei's popularity declines amid corruption allegations

The popularity rating of Argentine President Javier Milei has fallen sharply, weakened by accusations of corruption targeting his entourage and some of his past decisions.

According to several polls, his approval rating fell by about 5 points in March, marking a halt after a period of relatively stable support.

At the heart of the criticism is Javier Milei's promotion of the $LIBRA cryptocurrency in 2025, whose value soared before collapsing abruptly, causing significant losses for many investors.

This case has sparked complaints of fraud and revived suspicions about possible links between the president and financial players involved.

The recent publication of exchanges between Milei and a financier linked to the project has intensified the controversy, fueling attacks from the opposition and the media.

These accusations touch a sensitive point for the head of state, who had built his campaign on denouncing the political "caste" and promising to fight corruption.

This decline in the polls comes at a strategic time, as Javier Milei could seek another term next year.

This could weaken his political position in an already tense economic context in Argentina.

The outcome of this case will be crucial for the rest of his term and for his ability to maintain public confidence.
