Part 8/11:
In terms of congressional seats, Milei’s party secured 64 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 12 seats in the Senate, totaling 101 and 20 respectively. This means Milei now holds approximately a third of the lower chamber, providing a significant blocking minority—preventing opposition-led measures from overriding presidential vetoes—though not an outright majority.
Implications for Argentina’s Political and Economic Future
While Milei does not yet have a parliamentary majority, these results boost his legislative prospects. His ability to cooperate with opposition parties, which he has shown in the past, will be crucial for advancing reforms, especially given his limited seat count.
