The Milei administration needs a lifeline, which should come via the October 26 midterm elections. On Monday, September 15, President Milei addressed Argentines at prime time to present the 2026 Budget proposal. The speech reveals that Milei understands that he has a problem and needs to do something about it. What Milei has done in domestic politics will go down in history as unprecedented. But it is not clear he truly believes in being a different Milei than the successful one his mirror has been projecting to him.
