The Argentine government celebrated the Senate's approval of the labor reform project. This initiative, passed after an extensive session, was described as "a turning point in Argentine labor history." As reported by Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni, this marks "the first step towards a historical change." The Chief of Staff's office also stated that the bill's approval represents "a historical advance towards the most significant reform of the labor regime in Argentina in the last 50 years." Senator and former National Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, a key promoter of the reform, emphasized: "The labor reform has passed its first reading. After years of labor litigation that benefited a few, excessive bureaucracy, and outdated regulations in the face of profound economic and technological changes, we are now facing a profound transformation that brings predictability, dynamism, and freedom back to the labor market." According to an official communiqué signed by President Javier Milei, the initiative is a "structural reform aimed at updating a system that, for decades, pushed millions of Argentines out of formal employment and hindered the creation of registered jobs in our country." After a session of over fourteen hours and a tense day marked by clashes in central Buenos Aires between security forces and protesters against the reform, the Upper House approved the project in the early morning with 42 votes in favor, 30 against, and no abstentions. Several officials joined the celebration. Now, we have a project with order, clear rules, and contributions from all."
