    Argentina’s Senate passes penal reform bill

    -

    BUENOS ‌AIRES, Feb 27 (Reuters) - ​Argentina's Senate on Friday ⁠approved a penal reform that would ​lower the age ‌of criminal responsibility from 16 to 14.

    The measure ⁠was passed ⁠with 44 votes in favor, 27 against, and ‌one abstention. 

    The bill, backed ⁠by President ‌Javier Milei, ​is among several reforms the libertarian ‌president has ​been hoping ⁠to pass through ‌Congress, ⁠which on Friday was also set to ​debate his ‌controversial labor reform.
