Editorial: El Mundo

• Javier Milei has proposed an omnibus law that would concentrate an unusual amount of power in him if approved in Argentina.
• Milei seeks to implement a populist ultra-liberal program by declaring a "public emergency" that will last two to four years.
• The economy would be liberalized and deregulated, but the reform would also allow hard repression of protests and changes in the electoral system.
• Milei's proposal is in contradiction with his anti-statist speech, as it would increase his executive power.
• Economic reform should not be an excuse to alter the democratic system's checks and balances.

Conclusion: Milei's omnibus law could pose a risk to democracy in Argentina, increasing his executive power at the expenses of democratic checks and balances.
