Overview

• The Chamber of Deputies passed the bill to suspend the PASO primary elections with 162 votes in favor, 55 against, and 28 abstentions.
• The proposal now advances to the Senate, where it is expected to receive approval, finalizing the suspension for this year’s electoral calendar.
• The suspension is framed as a cost-saving measure and an opportunity for political parties to restructure internally before the October elections.
• La Libertad Avanza leaders, Karina Milei and Martín Menem, indicated a likely alliance with the PRO as part of ongoing coalition-building efforts.
• Other notable developments include Central Córdoba’s return to Santiago del Estero after preseason, Lautaro Martínez’s fitness monitoring ahead of World Cup qualifiers, and local law enforcement detaining four individuals for illegal ticket sales.
