Argentina's Chamber of Deputies debates a reform bill that ultra-liberal president Javier Milei is seeking to pass after withdrawing hundreds of articles from an ambitious earlier version that failed in parliament in February 2024. IMAGES
Social movements protest outside Argentina's Congress in Buenos Aires as the lower house debates President Javier Milei's mega-bill to reform the economy, politics and even some aspects of private life. Milei's so-called omnibus bill initially contained 664 articles, but has lost almost half of these in tough negotiations with the opposition, which largely outnumbers his party in Congress. IMAGES
Protesters throw objects at police who use tear gas and water cannons amid demonstrations outside Congress, where lawmakers are debating a swath of liberalizing reforms proposed by budget-slashing President Javier Milei. The measures include declaring a one-year state of economic emergency, allowing Milei to disband state agencies, and privatizing about a dozen public companies including state-owned carrier Aerolineas Argentina. Observers and opposition MPs say dozens of demonstrators and a handful of lawmakers received medical attention. IMAGES
