Argentina’s Senate approved President Javier Milei’s budget bill for 2026, cementing a legislative victory that overcame renewed tensions between the libertarian leader and his top ally.
In a 46-25 vote, senators passed Milei’s budget in a general vote for the first time since he took office in 2023. The legislative win reflects Milei’s new political capital after his party emerged victorious from the October midterm elections and has become the top bloc in the lower house.
