BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Argentina’s Senate Wednesday night began voting on state overhaul and tax bills proposed by President Javier Milei in the most serious test to date of the libertarian leader’s vision of governance and change.
But his political party of relative novices holds just a tiny minority of seats in Congress and he has struggled to strike deals with the opposition. “Today, it’s almost more important for Milei to demonstrate that he can pass laws in Congress than what he passes,” said Lucas Romero, director of Synopsis consultancy.
The rally took a tense turn when hundreds of riot officers pushed back with their shields against angry protesters trying to surge through a barrier. The presidency called protesters “terrorists” and accused them of “attempting to carry out a coup d’état” by disrupting Congress. Wednesday’s article-by-article vote will stretch for hours, with analysts expecting lawmakers to further weaken the most divisive sections of the bills.
