Congress overrules Milei’s vetoes on university and pediatric healthcare cuts, escalating political tensions.

Argentine President Javier Milei faced another legislative defeat as Congress overrode two of his presidential vetoes, rejecting his efforts to cut spending on public universities and pediatric healthcare. The overrides, passed 59-7 and 58-7, reflect mounting opposition to his economic reforms and deepen tensions between the executive and legislative branches ahead of the 2025 mid-term elections. The developments weaken Milei’s influence as he prepares for a national campaign tour, while also drawing attention to broader political challenges in Argentina.
