Argentina President Javier Milei restores media access to his government headquarters after a prior ban on credentialed journalists triggered criticism and backlash, according to reports. The access is reinstated more than a week after Milei’s administration barred press from the building. The decision drew reaction from lawmakers and press freedom advocates, who argued it undermines journalistic access and transparency. ABC News reports that Milei has restored press access to the presidency. The Washington Times adds that the ban was accompanied by online insults directed at journalists, and that the resulting controversy contributed to pressure for change. The reports describe the reinstatement as a reversal of the earlier restriction, though they do not detail whether additional conditions or specific access rules are imposed. Overall, the coverage emphasizes the timeline—over a week after the ban—and the fact that opposition to the move came from political and civil society actors concerned with press freedom. The reinstatement marks a change in the administration’s approach to reporter access at the presidential site.
