Javier Milei Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Javier Milei, Argentinas chainsaw-wielding libertarian president, has been at the center of a fiery labor reform storm thats reshaping his legacy. Just days ago, on February 20, the lower house narrowly passed his flagship Labour Modernisation bill 135 to 115 amid chaos from a nationwide general strike that paralyzed Buenos Aires, halting flights, buses, trains, and garbage collection while sparking clashes between protesters and police using water cannons and tear gas, according to the Associated Press and Buenos Aires Times reports. Unions decried the reforms for slashing severance pay, easing dismissals, extending trial periods to six months, and tweaking litigation rules like capping interest at inflation plus three percent, warning it guts worker protections built over decades. Milei, unfazed and posting triumphantly on X from Washington at Trumps Board of Peace inaugural, hailed it historic, Argentina will be great again, as per Tomorrows Affairs.

The Senate had greenlit an earlier version on February 12 by 42 to 30 after a 13-hour debate and street riots that saw 71 arrests, Tomorrow's Affairs noted, with final approval now slated for February 27 right before Mileis annual congressional addressa sequencing thats no coincidence, analysts say. This push follows midterms momentum, a US bailout, and quiet dealmaking with PRO allies, letting libertarian wins like the 2026 budget slip through while Milei stays low-key domestically, jetting abroad and dialing back his fiery social media blasts, Buenos Aires Times opined. Critics like lawyer Nahuel Altieri slam cheaper firings funded partly by pension money, potentially sparking court wars, but supporters call it surgical moderation to lure investors and formalize 43 percent of the grey economy workforce.

No fresh public appearances or business deals popped in the last 24 hours, though the Fate tire factorys closure and 900 layoffs fuel union fury as proof of Mileis austerity bite, France 24 reported. Speculation swirls on 2027 reelection odds, with polls crediting him for taming inflation to two to three percent but eyeing jobs next, per Latinoamerica21 analysis.
