About this listen
Javier Milei kicked off Argentinas parliamentary year this week by launching extraordinary Congress sessions via Decree 24/2026, running until February 27, with his top priority a sweeping labour reform bill set for Senate debate around February 11 or 12. Buenos Aires Times reports the package, backed by Senator Patricia Bullrich, eyes majority support from 44 allies but hinges on tweaks for provincial governors demanding fiscal perks, while opposition infighting gives Mileis team negotiating edge. La Nacion details how the 213-article overhaul slashes employer contributions, adds probation periods, flexible vacations, and company-level deals over unions, sparking fiery debate as critics like Diario Izquierda slam it as enslavement legislation amid reports of rising job woes.
In a diplomatic coup Thursday, Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno signed a landmark US-Argentina free trade deal in Washington, slashing tariffs on hundreds of goods and quadrupling beef exports to 100000 tons yearly, per Associated Press and ABC News. Its a breakthrough for Mileis open-economy push, tied to his Trump bromance, with the US eyeing cheaper food amid tariff wars, though local industries fret over competition and US ranchers grumble.
Milei amped up his media feud Thursday by reposting the launch of the governments X account, Oficina de Respuesta Oficial, which racked up 43000 followers fast by debunking so-called lies from outlets like Clarín. Buenos Aires Times notes the move drew backlash from press groups like FOPEA and ADEPA as a truth tribunal, echoing Mileis NOLSALP rants, while ally Laura Alonso warned against state truth-making.
No fresh public appearances or personal social blasts popped in the last 48 hours, but this US pact and labour push could etch Mileis libertarian legacy deep.
