Argentina’s libertarian President Javier Milei vetoed an attempt to hike spending on pensions in the country and a law expanding protections for people with disabilities, saying the legislation would have undermined his flagship pledge to eliminate the nation’s chronic fiscal deficit before October’s midterm elections. Since coming to power in late 2023, Milei has vetoed all efforts to boost public spending, often wielding the slogan “there is no money” against people’s demands that he restore subsidies.
