Argentina’s Senate began what’s likely to be an all-night voting marathon on the details of President Javier Milei’s sweeping proposals to slash spending and boost his own powers after giving the plan overall approval in a narrow vote. But as of early Thursday, the shape those reforms would take remained unclear as lawmakers began voting article by article on scores of deregulation measures. Senators voted 37 to 36 late Wednesday to provisionally approve the two bills after a daylong heated debate while thousands of protesters poured into the streets, clashing with police officers, burning cars and throwing Molotov cocktails. Hundreds of federal security forces pushed back with rounds of tear gas and water cannons.
