Argentina
Congress passes pension boost despite Milei opposition
Argentine MPs have passed a motion to boost pensions that the government of libertarian President Javier Milei had heavily criticised out of concerns that it would threaten the state’s fiscal surplus. The opposition-controlled Senate backed the pension reform, with 52 votes in favour and four abstentions. The lower chamber of congress had already passed the bill. Milei has vowed to veto a hike in pensions and already did so in a similar move last year.
