Overview
- Opposition blocs called a 12:00 session in the Chamber of Deputies to convert a Senate-approved overhaul of the DNU regime into law, but the government is pressing allies and provincial governors to block quorum.
- The bill would cap DNU validity at 90 days, allow annulment if either chamber rejects a decree, and bar multi‑subject DNUs, shifting the current rule that keeps decrees in force unless both chambers vote them down.
- Casa Rosada signaled it will veto the reform if it passes, and parts of PRO and the UCR argue any changes should take effect only after 2027, a stance that could help uphold a veto in Deputies.
- The session agenda also advances accountability moves: interpellations for Karina Milei and Health Minister Mario Lugones already have committee backing, while requests to question Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos could be routed to committees as part of a censure drive against Francos.
- After José Luis Espert resigned as Budget Committee chair, deputies plan to force a timetable for the 2026 Budget—targeting a November 20 committee deadline—and to debate measures including fuel tax revenue distribution, as research highlights sustained heavy use of DNUs across administrations.
