Milei's leading candidate in the mid-term elections has been surrounded by allegations of involvement with a US drug cartel financing his campaign.
Milei has protected and denied the accusations for weeks, but this week hard evidence emerged in a Texas case showing how the druglord Fred Machado sent $200k to Milei's candidate Jose Luis Espert via Bank of America.
In the last few hours rumours are that Espert has resigned but nothing has been confirmed officially yet.
Milei's chances of winning the mid-terms were already scarce after he lost the legislative election of the Province of Buenos Aires last month (an electorate of 14 million, the largest province represents 37% of the national argentine vote, Milei lost by a massive %13+ margin).
Rarely a president who takes a beating there lives to get re-elected.
AS if that weren't enough, Milei is also embattled between his allegiance to Trump and urgent demands for reviving the economy.
You can't have two bosses, but that hasn't stopped Milei from trying. Just as millions of voters turned their backs on him, and Scott Bessent appears to be less inclined to honour any perceived or implied promises of financial aid, the entire entourage of his pseudo-government is indicted, or getting ready to get indicted for a range of charges of corruption. (not the least of them his own sister's %3 kickbacks for every medicine provided by the national disability services)
The Trump mafia seems less inclined to be Milei's silver bullet (increasing Arg's debt even further, selling it by parts to Trumpist oligarchs), Milei's policies are economic death, starvation, and industricide and even in the right wing he's finding new foes (Milei hasn't been able to pass a single law in 2025).
The politics are impossible
The geopolitics are impossible.
The economics are impossible.
The financials are impossible.
Milei sleepwalks towards destitution.
