Overview

• After a marathon session, senators approved a university financing law by 58–10–3 and a national pediatric health emergency by 62–8.
• President Javier Milei has indicated he will veto the university funding measure on fiscal-balance grounds, with a formal decision still pending.
• The chamber also rejected five presidential decrees affecting agencies including the Genetic Data Bank, Merchant Marine, National Theater Institute, Vialidad/ANSV/CNRT, and INTI/INTA/INPI/ARICCAME/INASE/INV.
• The pediatric emergency law mandates immediate salary recomposition for health workers including residents, exempts critical shifts from the Ganancias tax, and orders the Health Ministry to reassign or augment resources.
• The university law reopens collective bargaining, increases operating funds and scholarships, and creates a 10,000 million peso fund, though execution remains constrained by the lack of a new national budget.
