Overview

  • Joint Sports, Communications and Budget committees in the Chamber of Deputies approved a majority opinion that unifies four bills to revamp ENARD’s financing.
  • The proposal allocates 1% of revenues collected by telecom and internet service providers from mobile and broadband subscriptions as ENARD’s dedicated funding source.
  • Sponsors project ENARD’s budget would rise from roughly $13–14 million to about $70 million, with 40% distributed to provinces.
  • The measure aims to restore ENARD’s autonomy by reversing Macri-era changes that shifted funding into the national budget.
  • The dictamen received 66 cross-party signatures and support from prominent athletes and Olympic and Paralympic officials, while the Milei administration opposes the plan and has signaled it would seek a veto if it becomes law.
