Overview

• In Argentina, a majority opinion with 29 signatures from Unión por la Patria and part of Encuentro Federal authorizes questioning Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos to potentially open a censure vote.
• The action follows Decree 681/2025 suspending the Disability Emergency law for lacking specified funding, a justification opponents contest by noting the chief of cabinet’s authority to reassign budget items.
• Opposition blocs remain split over pushing immediate removal, some lawmakers filed criminal complaints against Javier Milei and Francos, and a floor debate is expected after the October 26 elections.
• In Mexico, the Chamber of Deputies approved reforms to the Amparo Law 345–131 with three abstentions and returned the amended bill to the Senate after adopting a transitory applying new rules to future stages of ongoing cases.
• The reform tightens standing and curbs provisional suspensions, including in cases to unfreeze UIF-ordered account blocks, drawing dissent within the ruling alliance and an abstention by Olga Sánchez Cordero as Morena leaders deny any retroactivity.
