The Senate's approval of a pension increase against President Milei underscores the conflict between his austerity agenda and the pressing needs of a populace facing double-digit inflation.
With all but one dissenting vote from his party, the score of 61-8 reveals not only the Senate's determination but also the fracturing support within Milei’s own ranks.
Milei's office claimed that the pension reform's goal was to sabotage his economic program, asserting that it would lead to higher spending, contradicting his fiscal surplus promise.
The ongoing tension emphasizes Milei's isolation in Congress, where he holds less than 15 percent representation, reflecting the increasing influence of leftist and centrist lawmakers.
