Milei pushes to suspend primaries, shield DNU 70/23 amid opposition challenge

Argentine President Javier Milei is rushing a pact with governors to suspend primary elections (PASO) and protect his sweeping deregulation decree (DNU 70/23) from an opposition bid to repeal it in Congress. The move signals ruling-party concern over polls and uncertainty about a re-election plan, with deputies under intense pressure ahead of a vote.
