In Argentina, Javier Milei runs up against political realities
Briefly

After Javier Milei's austerity measures led to initial economic achievements like a budget surplus, provincial governors in Argentina rebelled by approving laws that increased fiscal spending, which challenged Milei's economic model. Governed mostly by his own allies, this insurrection reflects his dwindling political power, as he lacks support among governors and holds only a fraction of legislative seats. While Milei has previously pushed through significant reforms and consolidated powers, he is facing the harsh political realities of needing broader consensus for governance amid a decimated opposition.
Javier Milei's approach has led to a rebellion among Argentina's provincial governors, with 24 of them approving fiscal laws that challenge his austerity measures.
The far-right president's harsh austerity measures, aimed at lowering inflation, have backfired as governors, mostly from his own coalition, have revolted against his policies.
