BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -Argentine lawmakers on Thursday passed a motion to boost pensions that the government of libertarian President Javier Milei had heavily criticized out of concerns that it would threaten the state's fiscal surplus.
The opposition-controlled Senate backed the pension reform, with 52 votes in favor and four abstentions. The lower chamber of congress had already passed the bill.
