Buenos Aires, March 1 (NA) – President Javier Milei announced this Sunday a series of reforms he plans to carry out during the next two years of his administration. The main modifications will be in the tax and penal areas, but he also reaffirmed his commitment to improving and strengthening education, justice, and the Armed Forces.
“Each ministry has prepared 10 packages of structural reforms, so every month we will present packages of projects to be dealt with by this Congress,” highlighted the national leader. “What will determine our parliamentary agenda is how fast we go, and how far we get,” he indicated.
According to him, “this will constitute the calendar year of reform” and will be “nine months of uninterrupted structural reforms that will redesign the institutional architecture of the new Argentina.” Initially, he emphasized the importance of reforms in the Civil Code and the Commercial Code, as well as a tax reform, with the aim of “building a robust legal framework that allows for the primary development of Argentines.”
He also anticipated a “reform of the tax scheme” because he assured that they need “fewer taxes” and a greater “deepening of economic opening”: “Trade agreements must include reforms of the Customs Code to adapt them to our challenges and to sit at the table of international trade,” he added.
In the same vein, he referred strictly to the changes he plans to make in the Penal Code and asserted that they will advance “without qualms” to achieve “harsher penalties” and “greater coverage of effective prison” to continue strengthening the slogan “the one who does it, pays for it.”
Likewise, he maintained that “justice also has to be transformed” since, in his administration, they have implemented the “accusatory system” in “65% of the country” and managed to make trials “that used to take years, now be decided in days”: “By the end of the year, it will be implemented throughout the country,” he added.
“We also have to implement the jury trial in federal justice, a healthy practice of civic responsibility and respect for the law, that several provinces have already incorporated,” detailed the President of the Nation.
Regarding education, he assured that they “need” to reform it at the initial, primary, and secondary levels in order to give students the “tools” that lead them to “a better future and not to indoctrinate them.”

To conclude, he spoke about the importance of strengthening both the Armed Forces and military equipment, assuring that Argentina “cannot be a defenseless country” in a world that “demands more preparation with the standards that the geopolitical context demands.”
“We have already started a plan for the modernization of military equipment to strengthen the Armed Forces. These radical state reforms are not optional; today a new world order is being configured and the way we insert ourselves into it is the destiny that our country will have,” he concluded.
