Overview

• The chamber insisted on both laws with wide margins: 59–7–3 for the pediatric emergency focused on Hospital Garrahan and 58–7–4 for university financing, with most of La Libertad Avanza voting no and three PRO senators abstaining in both while Carolina Losada abstained on universities.
• The pediatric measure designates Garrahan as the national high‑complexity reference and orders priority resources plus immediate pay recomposition for pediatric staff, including residents, with OPC estimating an extra ARS 65.6 billion in July–December.
• The university law updates operating budgets by inflation to January 1, 2025, provides bimonthly adjustments in 2025, and mandates salary recomposition for faculty and staff from December 2023 to the law’s sanction.
• Under Article 83, promulgation is obligatory; opposition blocs are preparing resolutions to press reallocations and are advancing an interpellation and potential censure of Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos after the Government previously promulgated then suspended the disability emergency.
• Unions, residents and university groups held street actions and open classes, including ADUM activities and ‘Soy Garrahan’ testimonies, to demand enforcement of the reinstated protections.
