Argentina's military junta prepared to keep the next president in line by revising the law banning direct military participation. Defense Minister Caceres Monte said the change aims to prevent a too independent ruler, signaling a shift after Ongania's 1966 transition from general to president. The joint armed forces praised Ongania's anti inflation policy but warned it risked fragmented representation and a weakened republican essence.
