Argentine Senate passes Milei reform bill as protests rage outside
Buenos Aires | Argentina’s Senate passed a sprawling bill on Wednesday (Thursday AEST) that is key to libertarian President Javier Milei’s economic reform plans, while protesters set fires and clashed with police in the streets outside Congress.
The upper house was divided down the middle over the bill, which was passed in a general vote after the head of the chamber, vice president Victoria Villarruel, broke the 36-36 tie.
