"Because of the way Milei speaks, I buy everything he says. He's got a way of expressing himself that reaches people," said Toto, who comes from a well-off family, plays soccer and goes to a private school in Buenos Aires. However, Milei's conservative social views and promise of sharp cuts to government spending are off-putting to some young voters.
"I think many voted for Milei because he was a new face and he represents all that anger that everyone has with politics and so they could identify with him," said Pozzetti. Simon Rubinstein, 17, a fan of soccer, Formula 1 and "Star Wars," likes Milei's ideas about shrinking the state, but is afraid of some of his proposals, including dollarization and laxer controls on guns.
