Javier Milei and his cabinet are preparing for a significant week in Argentine politics, as labor reform legislation is set to be introduced in the Chamber of Deputies. The government aims to secure the approval of this law by Thursday. However, they face not only criticism from opposition parties but also dissent from allied sectors, particularly regarding changes to labor medical leaves. This controversy highlights the broader challenges Milei faces as he attempts to push through substantial reforms in the country.

In addition to the labor reform discussions, the political landscape in Santa Fe is also changing, as Governor Pullaro opens the ordinary sessions in the provincial legislature for the first time on February 15, following last year's constitutional reform. This timing reform signifies a new approach to governance in the province and may indicate shifts in political strategies at the provincial level, particularly after tensions with the police in Rosario.

The labor reform proposes that salaries continue to be disbursed through financial institutions while raising concerns about the reduced borrowing capacity if payments are redirected to fintech platforms. These financial implications illustrate the complexities of Milei's economic policies, reflecting ongoing tensions between different governmental sectors and the significant challenges in implementing reform measures that aim to reshape Argentina’s labor landscape.
