Published: 7/14/2025

Argentina's President Milei and Vice-President Villarruel clash over plans to increase pensions, leading to a public war of words. Milei opposes the pension hike, citing threats to the fiscal surplus, while Villarruel faced criticism for allowing the motion to pass in the Senate. Despite Milei's economic victories in reducing deficits and inflation, protests have erupted over austerity measures, with pensioners demonstrating outside Congress.
