In Argentina, a significant debate commenced in the lower house of Congress on President Javier Milei's comprehensive reform bill, which contains 664 articles and aims to transform the economy, politics, and certain aspects of private life. As lawmakers engaged in what is expected to be a marathon session, with a second recess scheduled until 10 a.m., thousands of protesters gathered outside the Congress building, leading to violent clashes with police. The security forces employed tear gas, water cannons, and rubber bullets against the demonstrators, who were protesting against the reforms that include the privatisation of state-run companies and grant emergency powers over the economy and security. A photojournalist was reportedly shot in the leg with a rubber bullet during the police crackdown. Amidst the unrest, President Milei continued to seek support from influential figures in the tech industry, including a conversation with Tinder co-founder Sean Rad.
