Overview

• Formal citations set Economy Minister Luis Caputo for 12:00 and Karina Milei and Health Minister Mario Lugones for 14:00 on Oct. 15 under Article 71, according to a letter signed by parliamentary secretary Adrián Pagán.
• Caputo is called to detail the government’s financial understanding with the United States involving Treasury figure Scott Bessent and to answer on the 2026 budget, which he has not presented in person.
• Karina Milei and Lugones were summoned over leaked audios attributed to former ANDIS head Diego Spagnuolo that allege a kickback scheme at the disability agency; the claims are under investigation and unproven.
• Attendance remains in doubt as Caputo is traveling in the United States with President Javier Milei, and ruling party sources signal the three officials will not appear; the chamber can reschedule or record absences but cannot compel attendance by force.
• The interpellations followed a 131–70–1 vote to summon Caputo and coincide with a reshaped 2026 budget debate led by Alberto ‘Bertie’ Benegas Lynch, who set six informational meetings and a Nov. 4 dictamen session.
