Argentina's President Javier Milei has stirred controversy by appointing two Supreme Court judges via decree during the country's summer recess. This move has been criticized as an overreach of executive power.
The president's office defended the action, stating that it was necessary to fill the vacancies on the five-member panel for the court to function effectively. Milei had previously nominated federal judge Ariel Lijo and lawyer Manuel García-Mansilla, but faced challenges in gaining Senate approval due to his coalition's limited representation in the Senate.
