Editorial: El País

• Javier Milei, President of Argentina, has submitted a draft law to the Chamber of Deputies for a political, security, and economic overhaul.
• The draft, called the 'Foundation Law and Starting Points for the Freedom of the Argentine People', consists of 664 articles and is an uncertain gamble.
• The president aims to declare a two-year 'public emergency', in which he can assume parliamentary powers.
• The law would abolish mandatory party primaries and change the structure of Congress to benefit his party, La Libertad Avanza.
• The bill criminalizes social protests, with harsh jail sanctions.
• Milei plans to privatize 41 public companies, including YPF, Aerolíneas Argentinas, Correos and the Casa de la Moneda.

Conclusion: Milei is taking the risk of consolidating his power, even if it results in chaos and deepens divisions in Argentina.
