After a day of significant unrest, characterized by violent clashes between demonstrators and police, the Argentine Senate has adopted President Javier Milei's labor reform, known as the "modernization of labor." The bill passed with a vote of 42 in favor and 30 against. This legislation represents a key initiative for Milei, who gained strength following the mid-term legislative elections in October.

The reform, which focuses on labor deregulation, is critical for the ultraliberal president's agenda and aims to reshape the country’s labor market. Although the Senate has approved it, the bill still awaits review from the lower house in the coming days, indicating that the political process is still ongoing and that further debate is likely.

The approval of this reform comes at a time of heightened tensions in Argentina, reflecting broader societal divisions over Milei's policies. As protests erupted in response to perceived threats to workers' rights, the violent confrontations underscore the challenges that the government may face as it implements such far-reaching changes to labor laws.
