Thousands of demonstrators had converged around Congress as Senate opened debate on the key tax and economic austerity legislation.
Argentine riot police fired water cannons and tear gas to disperse protesters who threw stones and Molotov cocktails outside Congress on Wednesday, escalating tensions before lawmakers were to vote on state overhaul and tax bills proposed by President Javier Milei. The vote is the most serious test to date of the libertarian leader’s vision of governance and change.
This watered-down version still delegates broad legislative powers to the president in energy, pensions and security, and includes measures to incentivize investment, deregulate the economy and trim the deficit. Certain touchy subjects, such as unions’ provision of health care and the privatization of Argentina’s national oil company, have been scrapped in hopes of reaching a compromise.
