ANDIS Audio Scandal Fuels Congressional Pushback and Market Jitters

Opposition leverage in Congress grows following judicial raids, with markets flashing caution.

Overview

  • Federal prosecutors conducted new raids at ANDIS as they probe leaked audios attributed to ex-director Diego Spagnuolo that describe alleged kickbacks tied to presidential allies; the government denied the recordings and is preparing a criminal complaint.
  • In the lower house, lawmakers already overturned the presidential veto on the disability emergency, and the Senate is set to take up a bill that would cut the force of DNUs if rejected by a single chamber or if Congress stays silent for 90 days.
  • Congress reactivated the $LIBRA investigatory commission under Maximiliano Ferraro, keeping open the option to summon figures linked to the ruling party during the campaign stretch.
  • Market anxiety ticked higher, with JPMorgan’s country risk gauge near 850, as the administration still operates without an approved budget and heads into closely watched votes.
  • Corrientes chooses a governor under scrutiny of the provisional count after a PJ court filing was rejected, Coronel Suárez approaches local voting after the Dass plant shutdown eroded support for Milei, and the president plans a U.S. trip with his sister Karina for investor meetings.
