President Javier Milei sent his massive, 351-page-long, 664-article bill aimed at deeply reforming the Argentine state to Congress on Wednesday. In a post on X, his press team stated that it was the president’s decision to “free the productive forces of the nation from the shackes of the oppresive state in order to once again become a world power.”

Presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni spoke about the bill in his daily press conference earlier in the day, saying that the document included “profound and urgently needed reforms to laws regarding taxation, labor, criminal justice, energy, and voting matters.”

“It is meant as a complement to the decree, aiming at giving every Argentine freedom.”

The government has called for extraordinary sessions of Congress between December 26 and January 31 to treat the massive bill, which calls for a declaration of “public emergency” until December 31, 2025, which, in essence, would allow President Milei to legislate without having to go through Congress. It also grants the Executive Branch wide latitude in multiple areas, including the ability to privatize a slew of public companies.

Es decisión del Presidente Javier Milei liberar de las trabas del Estado opresor a las fuerzas productivas de nuestra Nación con el objetivo de comenzar a transitar el camino para volver a ser una potencia mundial.........
