ARGENTINA: Milei survives fresh trial by fire
Argentina’s President Javier Milei is playing a dangerous game. His provocative use of the presidential veto to shoot down legislative initiatives, coupled with his persistent refusal to forge an alliance with political parties in congress, to avoid being seen doing a deal with the reviled ‘caste’, means that he is constantly scrabbling to cobble together enough votes to avoid a chastening defeat. His veto of a university financing law last week was narrowly upheld in a vote in the lower chamber of congress on 9 October – but the margins are getting slimmer and he is in danger of going to the well once too often.
