Argentina — Milei administration (2023–present)
Argentina
Basis for the estimate: Spending cuts, deregulation by decree, inflation fight, pro-U.S. alignment.
Official system and how it worked in practice
| Official system | Federal presidential republic |
|---|---|
| In practice | Electoral democracy free and fair multiparty elections and basic freedoms |
“In practice” is V-Dem’s Regimes of the World classification for Argentina, 2023–2025, from expert-coded data (V-Dem Regimes of the World (v2x_regime), V-Dem dataset v16, March 2026). V-Dem codes each country as it stood at the end of each year, so the first and last years can reflect the previous or next government. The official system is the constitutional form during the period.
