Argentina's President Milei's cultural agenda loses public support, survey shows

A June poll of 1,050 Argentine adults conducted by Alaska and Trespuntozero and reported by Perfil found that only 3 % of respondents think the government should focus on President Javier Milei’s “cultural battle,” while 61.9 % say economic problems should be the priority and 30 % want both addressed equally. A strong majority (79.6 %) prefer living under a democratic government that respects individual rights, compared with 15.3 % who would choose an authoritarian regime with good results. Support for the Memory, Truth and Justice agenda rose to 61.3 %, and 76.8 % back the right to protest. On social issues, 52.7 % reject reinstating an abortion ban, against 36.4 % in favour. The survey also showed a shift in economic attitudes: 69.1 % want a more active state role in the economy, 72.1 % oppose eliminating public employment, and 61 % oppose privatising state enterprises, reversing earlier trends. The highest consensus was the rejection of ending severance indemnities, at 84.7 %. The poll, conducted online between 23‑27 June with a 95 % confidence level and a ±3 % margin of error, indicates a broad retreat from Milei’s libertarian‑cultural platform.
