Overview

• Each official sent a formal note declining to attend, with Luis Caputo citing an official mission abroad and Karina Milei and Mario Lugones pointing to prior commitments and offering written responses.
• Sessions to question Caputo on talks with the U.S. Treasury and to press Milei and Lugones over alleged kickbacks at the disability agency were left in doubt for lack of quorum.
• Opposition bloc chiefs sent a letter to Chamber president Martín Menem requesting that the officials specify a date and time for their appearances.
• Lawmakers are considering escalation options such as enforcement steps and potential censure motions, as a separate push to interpellate Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos advanced in committee.
• The Caputo interpellation was approved on October 8 with 131 votes in favor, highlighting an ongoing struggle over legislative scrutiny of the executive branch.
