Argentina’s Javier Milei vetoes bills that would have raised pensions and disability benefits
Guardian5 days
These vetoes represent necessary fiscal discipline to prevent Argentina from sliding back into economic chaos. Approving unfunded spending increases would destroy the country's hard-earned progress and send millions more into poverty through renewed inflation and economic instability.
The vetoes constitute cruel abandonment of Argentina's most vulnerable citizens, who are already struggling to survive on poverty-level pensions. With most retirees below the poverty line, Milei is effectively forcing them to make impossible choices between medicine and food.
