Argentine President Javier Milei is moving to stop government embargoes on small businesses after the aggressive fiscal enforcement turned into a political liability, according to Bloomberg.
Bloomberg reports that the financial pressure placed on small merchants had reached a breaking point, with business owners who once supported Milei now openly criticizing his economic policies over the toll the embargoes took on their operations.
The shift comes as Milei faces growing scrutiny over how his fiscal discipline measures have affected ordinary entrepreneurs, a key constituency that helped propel him to power, Bloomberg noted.
