President Javier Milei’s La Libertad Avanza party scored three victories in the Lower House on Wednesday, blocking an opposition bid to question Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni — who is under investigation for alleged illicit enrichment — while advancing two bills aimed at cutting public spending.
One of the bills would strip natural gas subsidies from regions added to the “Cold Areas” regime in 2021, just as winter approaches. The other seeks to repeal dozens of regulations deemed obsolete.
Both measures now head to the Senate for final approval.
Although the opposition had called a session to question Adorni over alleged undeclared assets and high-value spending, the ruling party secured a quorum for its own agenda with backing from allied parties and provincial blocs.
