Overview

• A joint committee plenum approved a majority report with 29 signatures to summon Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos for interpellation “for the purpose of initiating a censure motion.”
• A minority report with 7 signatures proposes only interpellation, while libertarians and part of PRO filed a 19-signature rejection.
• The clash stems from decree 681/2025, signed by President Javier Milei, Francos and Health Minister Mario Lugones, which suspended the disability emergency law for lacking specified financing.
• Opposition lawmakers argue Article 19 assigns Francos the duty to reallocate funds to implement the law, whereas officialists contend the law’s financing gap justified suspension under fiscal rules.
• If a censure motion reaches 129 votes Francos would be removed, the hearing date is expected after October 26, and Francos has indicated he is willing to appear.
