Milei’s olive branch came on the heels of a grueling week for the government. All but one of Argentina’s governors backed Torres, escalating Milei’s wrath against them and worsening an already contentious relationship. Two days after Torres’ statement, Security Minister and PRO president Patricia Bullrich released a statement backing Milei. It should also be noted that Milei’s signature “omnibus bill” failed to garner support from provincial lawmakers in Congress. The main sticking point was how federal taxes were going to be shared — the same issue that sparked the feud between Governor Torres and Milei last week.
