The "opposition" of Sturzenegger and the government's backtrack
On February 6, 2024, Argentine President Milei ordered the withdrawal of a contested omnibus law amidst political tensions, emphasizing his refusal to negotiate with opposing parties.
On February 6, 2024, while in Israel, Argentine President Javier Milei made the decisive move to withdraw a contentious omnibus bill that was being debated in the Chamber of Deputies. He expressed a firm stance against passing what he termed a 'bad law,' declaring that he would prefer it not pass at all. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Milei accused the political class, or 'la casta,' of opposing the changes that he claimed Argentine voters supported by a 56% majority in the elections. He asserted a clear division between his administration and the opposition, which included legislators from the PRO, radical parties, and non-Peronist factions, viewing them all as potential threats to his proposed reforms.
