Libertarian President Javier Milei has vetoed attempts to increase spending on pensions and expand protections for people with disabilities in Argentina.

Argentine President Javier Milei on Monday vetoed a pension boost and a bill strengthening protections for people with disabilities, which lawmakers had passed in July, saying that they put fiscal balance at risk.

Despite his austerity measures, the president’s party is expected to do well in the crucial October mid-term elections.
