Milei's Radical Reforms Stalled by Congressional Pushback as Argentina's Economic Woes Deepen

Milei was elected president of Argentina on a platform of radical economic reforms to address high inflation, poverty, and debt.

He quickly implemented some reforms like currency devaluation and cutting subsidies, but struggled to get congressional approval for more far-reaching changes.

Milei issued an emergency decree bypassing congress to deregulate and cut social programs, but it was ruled unconstitutional and later rejected by the Senate.

His omnibus reform bill was watered down and eventually withdrawn due to lack of political support.

Without congressional backing, Milei is now stuck waiting until 2025 to try again, while inflation, poverty and unrest are getting worse.
