Argentina: Sturzenegger-Caputo rift deepens as Milei sends mixed signals amid economic paralysis

Internal friction between Argentina's deregulation minister Sturzenegger and finance minister Caputo is escalating, with Sturzenegger traveling to Misiones to position himself ahead of the finance ministry. The government is accelerating debate on relief measures for the productive sector, driven by electoral risk and market concerns, while President Milei's ambiguous signals complicate the internal dynamic. The rift signals potential policy incoherence at a time of economic stagnation, raising uncertainty over the government's reform agenda.
