Overview

• The upper chamber secured well over two‑thirds to restore both measures—59–7–3 on pediatric emergency focused on Hospital Garrahan and 58–7–4 on university financing—forcing their promulgation.
• Opposition blocs signaled they will seek an interpellation that could lead to a censure motion against Guillermo Francos in the next session expected on Wednesday, October 8, escalating oversight of the executive.
• The Senate also advanced a resolution pressing the government to reassign funds and comply with previously approved disability legislation after the executive promulgated but suspended its application.
• La Libertad Avanza was left nearly alone on the floor, with only its senators and a few allies voting to sustain the vetoes, as several PRO and UCR figures abstained rather than back the government.
• Pressure mounted beyond Congress as rights observers reported roughly ten injured and one detained at a retirees’ march near Congress, Buenos Aires Province’s push to authorize $1.045 billion in new debt stalled in the Senate, and Córdoba’s legislature saw heated clashes over prisons and budgets.
