Milei's reform plan stalled in Congress

Argentine President Javier Milei was dealt a major setback in parliament on Tuesday when his controversial deregulatory reform package was prevented from advancing and sent back for a rewrite, legislators said. Just as the Chamber of Deputies was preparing for a vote on the bill, the president's La Libertad Avanza party suddenly requested and obtained the adjournment of the session. The matter is being sent "back to committee" for further dialogue, Oscar Zago, leader of the ruling party faction, said.
