Congress Confronts Milei’s Vetoes in Special Session

The special session offers a key chance to challenge Milei’s vetoes on pediatric health, university budgets and revenue-sharing measures.

Overview

  • The Chamber of Deputies reconvenes Wednesday to debate emergency pediatric health, raise university funding to 1% of GDP and adjust ATN and fuel-tax revenue sharing.
  • President Javier Milei has publicly defended his vetoes on pension increases, the disability emergency law and a social security moratorium as essential for fiscal consolidation.
  • La Libertad Avanza is racing to finalize alliances with PRO, UCR and provincial governors in Mendoza, Chaco, Entre Ríos and CABA to shore up support for its legislative and electoral agenda.
  • The Central Bank holds about US$20 billion in reserves as ‘power de fuego’ to defend the peso’s floating band without immediate dollar sales.
  • Emergency operations unfold under yellow storm warnings in Misiones and Corrientes; human remains recovered in Jujuy are being analyzed after the arrest of suspected serial killer Matías Jurado.
