About this episode

Argentina has elected far-right outsider Javier Milei as its new president.

He’s a pretty unconventional politician - from tantric sex to cloning dogs. But, how did he win and what could this mean for the Latin American country? The BBC’s Maria Clara Montoya explains.

TikTok played an important role in his campaign. So, we also hear from Den Borg, an Argentinian marketing specialist, about how the app was utilised.

Plus, we have reaction from two young voters in Argentina.
