Patricia Bullrich Says No Split with Milei Over Judge Michelli Dispute

Senator Patricia Bullrich, head of the officialist bloc in Argentina's Senate, rejected the government's request to withdraw the nomination of judge María Verónica Michelli, stating there is "no risk of fracture" with President Javier Milei. She framed the disagreement as a normal part of political life, pledged to continue supporting the administration's legislative agenda, and indicated she would not resign despite earlier offers.

Political analyst Federico González described the recent Senate infighting as evidence of an "anarchic" government, citing tensions among Bullrich, Victoria Villarruel, Mauricio Macri and other ruling figures. He warned that internal disputes reflect broader instability within the ruling coalition.
