The Chamber of Deputies approved Javier Milei's labor reform with 135 affirmative votes and 115 negative ones, in a session marked by tensions and an incident involving Deputy Florencia Carignano. The bill, which includes changes to indemnities and contracts, returns to the Senate for final approval on February 27 after the removal of the article on medical leaves. The ruling party celebrated the progress as a step toward labor modernization.
The Chamber of Deputies began debating the labor reform on Thursday, February 19, 2026, achieving quorum with 130 lawmakers thanks to support from allied and provincial blocs. The ruling party defends updating 50-year-old regulations, while the opposition criticizes the loss of rights and questions the rushed process. Outside the chamber, protesters rallied against the bill, leading to clashes with police.
