Overview
- President Javier Milei has publicly shifted into a re‑election posture and has traveled with a group of provincial governors as he seeks to lock in legislative backing for a second term.
- The administration says it holds a $27 billion dollar 'bazuca' to guard against pre‑electoral instability and to reassure markets about policy continuity.
- The Supreme Court revoked an article of DNU 70 that removed protections in the Land Law, a decision that narrows the scope of Milei’s wider deregulation program and shows growing judicial limits on emergency decrees.
- Allies of the government are pushing to change PASO primaries, a system that currently forces open, mandatory primary contests, with proposals that would reduce internal elections and affect how candidates are selected.
- The opposition is running a campaign around Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s legal status that calls any ban a 'proscription', a framing that seeks international support and that could sharpen alliances, deepen polarization, and influence voter confidence and policy stability ahead of 2027.
