Argentina’s political tensions deepened this week as lawmakers overturned two key vetoes by President Javier Milei, delivering a major setback for the libertarian leader just weeks before critical midterm elections. Milei, who has made drastic spending cuts central to his agenda, argued that additional funding would endanger Argentina’s fragile fiscal balance. The latest defeats follow a similar episode in September when Congress overrode Milei’s veto of legislation providing increased support for people with disabilities. Despite growing domestic pressure, Milei recently received a political boost from U.S. President Donald Trump, who pledged support for stabilizing Argentina’s financial markets. Still, analysts warn that without a strong midterm performance, Milei risks undermining the progress he has made in restoring some economic stability.
