Argentina's young voters can decide the election: "Very good or very bad"
It could be the very low voting age in Argentina that decides the election, reports Reuters.
In Argentina, people as young as 16 are allowed to vote - something that may speak for the strange populist candidate Javier Milei, according to the news agency.
- Milei proposes something very different, which in practice can turn out to be very good - or very bad, says 17-year-old Tomas "Toto" Kremenchuzky, who is considering a vote for Milei, to Reuters.
The self-proclaimed "anarcho-libertarian" Milei has also attracted strong support from people who work delivering food in the so-called gig industry, which meant that many received campaign materials along with their takeaway food, according to Rest of world.
There, Milei has secured support, paradoxically, by promising not to legislate the rights of gig workers.
- It would be like putting another person, or an entire bureaucracy, in the middle, says 36-year-old gig worker Luiz to the newspaper.

Five cloned dogs can move into the presidential palace
If presidential candidate Javier Milei takes power in Argentina after Sunday's election — and polls point to that — he will move into the presidential palace with his five cloned dogs. The New York Times writes.
The dogs are genetic copies of Milei's first dog Conan, and are named after Milei's role models: liberal economists such as Milton Friedman and Robert Lucas. They were not born as ordinary dogs, but created in a lab in the USA.
Milei calls himself "anarcholibertarian" and proposes, among other things, that Argentina's central bank be abolished. According to the New York Times, he has also promised to appoint a doctor whom he himself describes as the "national cloner" as head of an important government science council.
- It is the future, says Milei about cloning according to the newspaper.
