Javier Milei and his measures, LIVE: the IMF expects "a very positive acceleration of economic growth for 2027"

The Government identified the university march with an opposition move and defended the security operation at Congress The Government faced the fifth federal university march this Thursday, which gathered a crowd in front of Congress. But, unlike previous occasions, it ended with incidents. At the Casa Rosada, they sought to link the universities' demand —which is calling on the libertarian administration to comply with the education funding law— to a move orchestrated by the opposition. In that vein, they blamed violent groups for the unrest that broke out in front of the Legislative Palace. The governors who made a key contribution to Milei to frustrate the opposition session in the Chamber of Deputies CÓRDOBA.- The national ruling party finally counted on the help of several governors to shield DNU 70/2023, although some names changed at the last minute. The absences of legislators who answer to Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán), Carlos Sadir (Jujuy) and Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe) were crucial. More surprising were the absences of two Unión por la Patria deputies who answer to Fuegian Gustavo Melella, who grew closer to the Casa Rosada because of the Malvinas bill, and to Santiago native Elías Suárez. They are Agustín Tita and Estela Neder. In the case of Córdoba, Alejandra Torres was absent. Due to lack of quorum, the session called by the opposition to overturn Milei's DNU 70/23 failed Despite last-minute efforts to gather support, the opposition failed to muster the necessary quorum to proceed with the mega-session called to bring down DNU 70/23 and address the extension of the disability emergency and a bill to tackle growing delinquency and household debt. The aid of the governors of the north and center, with direct influence over the provincial blocs, was key for the Government, which after this defeat gained some breathing room with an eye on two issues of particular interest to the Casa Rosada: the suspension of the PASO primaries and the 2027 Budget. The opposition blocs reached 121 votes: they were eight short of being able to open the session. Among the weighty absences were the three legislators from Independencia aligned with Osvaldo Jaldo; and the members of Provincias Unidas Gisela Scaglia and José Núñez, close to Santa Fe Governor Maximiliano Pullaro. Two provisional victories key for the Government October 15 was presented as a significant challenge for the Government, but in the end, with great effort, several last-minute concessions and some key external contributions, it came away with two triumphant images. Inside and outside Congress. Beneath the surface, however, there remain unsatisfied demands, costly achievements for the ruling party, and several unanswered questions. But that will be for later and is part of the extreme tactical maneuvering the Casa Rosada has resorted to lately to navigate complications. That is why this Wednesday libertarian officials and propagandists celebrated what happened on social media and in the media.
