BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - A meme coin scandal and investigation have dented the popularity of Argentina's libertarian President Javier Milei and hindered his efforts to strengthen political alliances ahead of congressional midterm elections this year.
The brash former economist won a shock election in 2023 with pledges to take a "chainsaw" to public spending - and recently gifted a real one to billionaire Elon Musk. Milei stirred controversy when he posted this month on X in support of a new token, Libra.
