The controversy surrounding the "Law for the Defense of National Sovereignty," submitted by President Javier Milei to the National Congress, has escalated to the constitutional level. In a legal analysis published by the newspaper La Nación , journalist and legal columnist Hernán Cappiello warned that the initiative directly clashes with the guarantees of the Constitution , international human rights treaties, and the founding agreements of the 1983 democratic pact.
