Milei government wins Senate property rights vote after violent police crackdown
Argentina's Senate approved President Javier Milei's contentious Property Rights bill as police violently dispersed protesters outside Congress. The government was forced to strip two of the bill's most controversial provisions to secure passage.
Argentina's Senate approved President Javier Milei's contentious Property Rights bill on Saturday, as police mounted a violent crackdown on protesters gathered outside Congress during the vote.
To secure the bill's passage, the government was forced to strip out two of its most controversial provisions, a concession seen as reflecting Milei's fragile working majority in the upper chamber.
While the vote counts as a legislative win for the administration, the scenes of police confrontation outside and the last-minute amendments underscore the heavy political cost behind the victory. Opposition lawmakers sharply criticized both the substance of the bill and the handling of the protests.
