Argentine President Javier Milei has signed the 'Ficha Limpia' bill aimed at barring convicted politicians from holding public office. The legislation, which will be sent to Congress for consideration during extraordinary sessions, specifically targets former President Cristina Kirchner. If approved, the bill would prevent Kirchner from running in the 2025 elections and from obtaining parliamentary immunity. Milei emphasized that the true agreement is with those who desire a free and prosperous country. This move comes as Milei prepares to travel to the United States.
