Overview
- The extraordinary session, set for noon, takes up the 2026 budget and the Inocencia Fiscal bill, with the ruling bloc claiming enough support to pass the budget in general.
- Article 30, which would scrap statutory funding floors for education, science and technical education, faces pushback from UCR senators and four members of Convicción Federal, leaving the vote in particular uncertain.
- Article 12, empowering the Education Secretariat to suspend transfers to universities that fail to provide detailed data, is another flashpoint for potential allies.
- Any Senate change would send the budget back to Deputies on a tight clock, with planned sessions on December 29–30 or January 5, and abstentions counting as absences could affect quorum and outcomes.
- The plan projects about 5–5.4% GDP growth, 10.1% inflation and a year‑end official dollar near ARS 1,423, while the Inocencia Fiscal proposal raises tax‑penal thresholds (reportedly near ARS 100 million/1,000 million) and adds a simplified voluntary declaration regime.
