Argentine President Javier Milei sent a wide-ranging omnibus reform package to congress Wednesday, expanding his shock therapy approach beyond economic policy into myriad aspects of government.
Spanning hundreds of pages, Milei’s state reform package should face pushback in congress where his party holds a minority and even the biggest coalition wouldn’t give him the necessary votes. Measures range from eliminating Argentina’s primary elections and charging university tuition to privatizing 41 state-owned companies and strengthening Milei’s economic policy powers throughout his term.
