Argentina had an election and the 'far right' Javier Milei has now been elected president. I say far right in quotations as I think right and left are not that meaningful, particularly in this case as Milei calls himself a libertarian and an Anarcho-capitalist.
He wants to get rid of the Peso and adopt the US dollar instead, get rid of the central bank and trim down and even get rid of many government ministries.

I'm not sure about his political views but certainly adopting the US dollar would be a good idea for Argentina given their history of inconstant inflation and economic instability. If they can actually manage it that is, as it will be a huge undertaking given that they will to spend a lot of money buying their own currency.

It robs Argentina of the economic levers of the central bank as well, which is usually a bad thing but for Argentina it's probably for the best.
