Milei Lays Out Post-Election Crime and Economic Overhaul, Plans Bills After Legislative Vote

He told investors gathered by J.P. Morgan that passage will depend on a more reformist Congress.

Overview

  • The proposed “Tolerancia Cero” package would lower the age of criminal responsibility, fully implement the federal accusatory system and speed up criminal proceedings.
  • The labor plan aims for forward-looking flexibilization through renegotiated collective agreements, streamlined registries and the removal of multiple litigation-driven indemnities.
  • The tax overhaul targets scrapping about 20 distortionary taxes, revisiting the personal income tax for individuals and creating a voluntary asset-regularization program with incentives.
  • The government says the projects will be sent to Congress after the legislative elections, with approval contingent on the post-election balance of power.
  • Milei cited zero-deficit claims and an end to central bank financing of the Treasury to justify a projection of zero inflation by mid next year, presented as his forecast.
