"Argentina's Lower House Passes Milei's Sweeping Reform Bill Amid Protests"

Argentina's lower house has approved libertarian president Javier Milei's sweeping reform bill, paving the way for a Senate vote. The controversial package, aimed at addressing the country's economic crisis, includes reforms ranging from economic policy to state entity privatization.
