Overview
- The Chamber of Deputies gave media sanción to the revision of the Banco Central's Carta Orgánica and to the 'Inocencia Fiscal II' package after a long, confrontational session that split lawmakers and lasted more than 12 hours.
- The BCRA bill consolidates a single mandate of currency preservation, enshrines a principle of 'zero issuance', forbids short‑term advances to the Treasury and limits loans to provinces while altering majorities for director appointments and removals.
- Opposition leaders won 133 votes to demand debate on family indebtedness and disability and announced a special session for September 9 to press 48 pending measures aimed at overindebted households and morosity relief.
- A parallel criminal probe in southern Santa Fe detained the head and deputy head of the PDI Microtráfico division, seized phones and other devices and set up a joint federal–provincial investigation whose forensic analysis could widen the case or produce further arrests.
- The government is coordinating with PRO and provincial governors to shore up legislative support, insisting morosity is concentrated in segments of the population and rejecting broad rescue measures while critics say the reform weakens practical central‑bank independence and leaves indebted families exposed.
