Financial markets maintained stability, the fragmentation in the opposition allowed advances in the president's legislative agenda.
Néstor Crivelli analyzed in La Prensa the internal tensions in the opposition and the weakening of Cristina Kirchner's leadership in the Senate after an episode that failed to progress due to the lack of internal consensus.
The president achieved legislative victories that bewildered his opponents, reflecting anarchy in the opposition that favored the ruling party. According to Crivelli, Milei reinforces his position without suffering major costs after the Libra affair.
The lack of cohesion in the UCR among its allies to the ruling party and critics like Lousteau and Manes became evident during the vote on the investigative commission, while their opponents seem to seek a clear direction in a polarized political scenario.
The Libra scandal unleashed criticism from the opposition, minimally affecting the economy despite a sudden drop in the currency's price. Milei's trip to the U.S. strengthened the perception of economic stability sought by the ruling party.
The Libra controversy caused an increase in its value after Milei's promotion on social networks, exposing divisions in the Senate and weakening Cristina Kirchner. Despite accusations of corruption, markets trust Milei.
In the Senate, the opposition failed to investigate the Libra affair or stop the suspension of primary elections, which represented a blow to Cristina Kirchner and the possibility of political isolation for Kicillof. The internal divisions in Kirchnerism and the UCR were evident, without serious consequences in the financial markets.
