Javier Milei’s government was forced to abandon another section of its private property legislation before it passed, underscoring the Argentine president’s challenges in attracting private investment to the crisis-prone nation. The government had already stripped out the bill’s centrepiece Wednesday, which eased limits on foreign property ownership. The backlash against the bill is but one factor weighing heavily on Milei’s public image. Milei’s original bill, introduced in March, eliminated caps on foreign land ownership, from a current limit of 15 percent at the national, provincial and departmental level. The private property bill was seen by some in the government as a bellwether for an electoral reform that seeks to eliminate, or at least suspend, primaries during the 2027 presidential election.
