BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentine President Javier Milei said on Saturday he intends to shake up the country's midterm legislative elections next year, during a rally for the national launch of his political party, as the country battles its worst economic crisis in decades.

Winning the 2025 elections would give Milei's libertarian La Libertad Avanza (Liberty Advances) party power in Congress, where it currently holds a minority in both chambers, hampering its ability to approve laws it considers key to its governance.
