    Government Struggles to Pass Land Law Amidst Allied Rejection

    The government faces another setback in its attempt to pass the Private Property project, as allies reject the current land law draft. The main point of contention is the percentage of land that can be sold to foreign individuals or companies. The government wants to leave almost the entire territory open to alienation, while allies want a 'cap' on the percentage. The law has already failed three times and could fail again on August 6 if the government does not give in to the Senate's requests. The land chapter is the main problem, and the project has gone through numerous revisions, with the current version being the twentieth rewrite. The government is also facing internal conflicts, with Patricia Bullrich and Diego Santilli attacking Vice President Victoria Villarruel ahead of the fourth attempt to approve the land law.
