このコンテンツについて
In the last few days Javier Milei has been on the edge of Argentina’s political storm. One of the headline developments is that Argentine lawmakers just overturned President Milei’s high-profile veto regarding an increase in pensions and disability benefits—a key moment as reported by Semafor. Milei had argued this spending would threaten his austerity program, which he says is cooling inflation. But for the first time, the opposition Senate voted down a presidential veto, signaling a major shift in legislative power and a challenge to his go-it-alone, executive-driven approach.
This political loss comes just ahead of what commentators call the "mother of all battles"—the Buenos Aires Province election set for September 8, detailed by Buenos Aires Times and ABC News. This election, with nearly half the seats in the provincial legislature up for grabs, is not just about local power: analysts agree it’s the biggest test yet of Milei's political survival. Having built his reputation as the outsider who could shake up Argentine politics, Milei now finds his party and agenda in the crosshairs, especially in light of the national midterms looming in October.
Adding fuel to the fire is a brewing corruption scandal that has engulfed his administration. According to El País and The Business Standard, leaked audios from inside the national disability agency allege the existence of a bribery network implicating Milei’s sister Karina—his closest confidant and secretary general—as well as others in top government posts. Ousted agency director Diego Spagnuolo claims Milei knew of the irregularities but failed to act. Milei’s camp has called the accusations an opposition smear, but the scandal is under judicial investigation and is dominating the conversation both in the media and on social channels. Meanwhile, a controversial court order to restrict press coverage of leaked audios involving Karina Milei has sparked outcry from lawyers and press freedom groups, according to Buenos Aires Herald.
With protests organized by unions and opposition parties and social media buzzing about everything from the family dynamics between Milei and his sister to the legality of executive orders, the president’s public appearances are now more controlled. Notably, he recently cancelled an appearance at his ex-girlfriend’s Las Vegas show, with Buenos Aires Herald suggesting a link to the need to manage the scandal back home.
Economically, outlets like Americas Society/Council of the Americas remind us that while Milei’s austerity has brought a budget surplus and helped curb runaway prices, it has deepened hardship for vulnerable Argentines, especially pensioners. Markets are watching the Buenos Aires vote for signs of cautious optimism or deeper crisis.
Whether Milei can weather this perfect storm or whether these scandals define his presidency remains one of the big questions in Argentine politics this week.
