Javier Milei

Javier Milei is the current president of Argentina. Noted for his similarities Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, his policies have been characterized as right-wing libertarian and populist, with a lean towards anarcho-capitalism. He has also advocated for freedom of choice over a variety of issues, such as prostitution, drugs, same-sex marriage, and gun control. 

Milei has also been noted for his eccentric personality and even has a superhero persona, General AnCap.

Despite having been raised Catholic, Milei has been vocal about his admiration for Judaism and claims to read the Torah every day and having considered formally converting. He has also advocated for closer ties with Israel and stated his intention to move Argentina's embassy to Jerusalem.
