The week that has just passed left a difficult political postcard to ignore: Javier Mileipresident of Argentina, suffered one of the most forceful parliamentary defeats since he assumed power. Twelve consecutive votes lost in the Chamber of Deputies, a CGT that is unified together with social movements in the traditional march of San Cayetano, and a real economy that continues to be bite, especially in industrial and construction sectors.
All this occurs while the disenchantment grows between those who once deposited their hope in the libertarian experiment, and abstentionism begins to emerge as a silent but decisive actor on the electoral board. The image of Javier Milei In “Total Had” it is not just a journalistic metaphor.
It is a description that conforms to the discursive drift of the president, which seems more focused on sustaining his narrative of “cultural battle” than in building political consensus. In the midst of this scenario, the opposition, fragmented, but increasingly articulated, begins to find convergence points.
Governors, senators and deputies of different political signs align around projects that, although diverse, have a common goal: to stop the unilateral advance of the Executive and recover institutional prominence.
The marathon session in deputies was more than a legislative defeat: it was a political sign. The ruling not only lost key voting, such as university financing and pediatric emergency, but also saw how five decrees of necessity and urgency (DNU) that were part of their state reform plan were rejected.
In addition, the treatment of sensitive projects was forced, such as the automatic distribution of the contributions of the National Treasury (ATN), the Liquid Fuel Tax, and the investigation of the Cryptocurrency Cryptocurrency $ LIBRA, which directly involves the presidential environment.
On the street, another narrative
The opposition managed to maintain more than 140 legislators in the enclosure, and some laws were approved with more than two thirds of the votes, which leaves the government in a clear disadvantage position. The chief of cabinet, Guillermo Francos, already anticipated that Javier Milei It will veto the laws promoted by the governors, but in the Senate the numbers also favor the opposition, which could insist with the initiatives and turn the vetoes into wet paper.
While institutional battles are fought in Congress, another air is breathed in the street. The march of San Cayetano showed a unified CGT and in tune with social movements. It is not less: in a context of free fall of industrial activity and construction, the claim for work, dignity and social justice becomes more urgent. The photo of the mobilization contrasts with the image of a president who banalizes the “never again” and that seems increasingly disconnected from the daily emergencies.
