Biography Flash Javier Milei Approval Crashes to 36 Percent as LIBRA Scandal and Trade Fears Rock Argentina

Javier Mileis approval rating plunged to a new low of 36.4 percent in March, according to the LatAm Pulse survey by AtlasIntel for Bloomberg News, as unemployment hit 7.5 percent and corruption scandals gripped his government. Buenos Aires Times reports the drop ties directly to resurfaced details on the February 2025 cryptocurrency $LIBRA mess, where Milei briefly promoted the meme coin that skyrocketed then crashed, sparking bribery whispers including a supposed five million dollar U.S. deal, per Latin American News Digest. Cabinet Chief Manuel Adornis wife jetting on the presidential plane to New York with Mileis crew raised eyebrows, alongside questions over his familys private jet jaunt to Uruguay, denting his anti-corruption swagger. Public souring on Mileis trade pact with Donald Trumps administration has only 41 percent backing now, down from 60 percent earlier this year, with fears of factory closures looming large. On a brighter note, Milei celebrated a massive legal win when the U.S. Second Circuit reversed a 16 billion dollar judgment against Argentina over its renationalized oil company, a ruling Courthouse News says he hailed triumphantly. His government stirred fresh debate by dropping a 75-minute video on social media Tuesday via Casa Rosada channels, demanding the complete history of Argentinas 1976 dictatorship era, spotlighting left-wing guerrilla kidnappings like that of Army officer Argentino del Valle Larrabure, as detailed by Buenos Aires Times. Polls from WMBDRadio show these scandals chipping away at his edge over rivals like Axel Kicillof, who now slightly leads in public image at 38 percent. No major public appearances or fresh social media buzz in the last 24 hours, but the $LIBRA shadow looms as his biggest biographical hurdle yet amid re-election talk.
