ARGENTINA: Congress blunts Milei’s chainsaw
The setbacks are coming thick and fast for Argentina’s President Javier Milei. Having developed a taste for striking down a presidential veto on 4 September, the senate took down two in a single day this week to leave Milei reeling ahead of mid-term federal congressional elections on 26 October. Only a few months ago these looked like affording a great opportunity for Milei’s far-right La Libertad Avanza (LLA) to expand its congressional presence and underpin his economic reform drive; now they look like an ominous date with destiny for him which could derail his political future. The enforced resignation of the most high-profile candidate due to compete for the LLA in the elections over a drug-money scandal has compounded his problems.
