Milei's "fallen-leaves law" stalls in the Argentine Senate

Argentina's Senate stalled Milei's Ley Hojarasca — a bill to repeal or rewrite 59 obsolete laws — after centre-right Radical senators sought last-minute revisions, tangled with a fight over judicial appointments. Thousands more dead-letter laws reportedly remain.

The mechanics of mass deregulation — a single bill striking out dozens of obsolete statutes — is a tangible idea for the UK's own statute-book-pruning debates, and the stall shows the parliamentary limits of chainsaw governance.
