The government of Argentine President Javier Milei legalized 12-hour workdays on February 12, 2026, between 10:16:03 PM and 11:15:41 PM UTC, as announced in a post by @PamphletsY on X (https://x.com/PamphletsY/status/2021806848383525306). The measure, termed part of the 'Milei Regime' and labeled 'Capitalist Freedom,' took effect immediately according to the source. The announcement emerged during the 59-minute reporting window on Argentina's labor policy, with the X post declaring '🚨🇦🇷 BREAKING — Capitalist Freedom! Milei Regime Legalizes 12-Hour Workdays.' No official government statement or decree details were provided in the source within this period. This development follows prior reports of Ecuadorian Armed Forces operations and Brazilian political events but represents a distinct policy shift in Argentina, with no direct connections noted in the current window.
