ARGENTINA: Milei pushes for pact after congress victory
Argentina’s President Javier Milei has the definitive approval he has been seeking since taking office last December. The lower chamber of congress passed the amended version of his omnibus bill of reforms on 27 June, as well as an accompanying fiscal reform, although the reinsertion into the latter of income tax and personal assets tax chapters, removed by the senate, prompted a flurry of legal challenges. Milei, meanwhile, urged provincial governors and former presidents to sign up to his ‘Pacto de Mayo’ political accord on 9 July.
