Sequel of Second Chance: Here if you haven’t read it yet

For those not in the know, Argentine president Javier Milei's Omnibus Law (a nightmare bill with articles that would expand the president's powers and privatise state properties, among other things) was turned down yesterday.

It had been approved in general on Friday, and they were voting for the particular articles in this session, but apparently some congresspeople who had promised a yes were voting no (my guess is the soft opposition [radicals] wanted more money?). La Libertad Avanza (Milei's party) called for a break to evaluate the situation, and when they came back said that either they passed it or the bill went back to commissions, seemingly under the impression that they'd keep the general saction.

BUT Article 155 of the rules of Congress, which clearly NONE of them read, states that if a partially sanctioned bill goes back to commissions it's like it never got voted. They have to start from zero after having already shown their cards just because they don't now how the laws work--the Minister of Interior had to have it explained to him on live television. This is a massive win because there's no memory of any government here having the first bill of their administration rejected. Right now Milei is in Israel, mass-liking tweets that say the congressmen in question are little whores and they should go to civil war for this.
