Overview
- Lawmakers convene at midday to vote on overrides of vetoes covering pension hikes and the bonus, the moratorium, the disability emergency, and relief for Bahía Blanca, bundled with projects to redistribute ATN funds and fuel‑tax revenue to provinces.
- Opposition counts identify the disability emergency as the most viable override, the pension package as a close call, and the moratorium as unlikely, with the Senate positioned to take up any successful overrides as early as Thursday.
- Key UCR deputies aligned with Rodrigo De Loredo, along with other legislators weakened by recent list closures, could decide the outcome through absences or abstentions that affect the two‑thirds bar.
- The government defends the vetoes on fiscal and anti‑inflation grounds, with Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos seeking a sustaining third of votes and congressional allies trying to hold quorum below decisive levels.
- University unions rejected the government’s 7.5% pay offer and are escalating strikes, while public agencies led a mass INTI event urging senators to confirm derogations of executive decrees that cannot be vetoed by the president.
