Overview

• Deputies voted to overturn President Javier Milei’s vetoes on the university financing law (174–67–2) and the pediatric emergency “Garrahan” law (181–60–1) following large rallies outside Congress.
• The Senate then rejected Milei’s veto of the law mandating automatic, proportional distribution of Aportes del Tesoro Nacional to provinces, approving the insistence 59–9 with 3 abstentions.
• Under Article 83 of the Constitution, each vetoed bill must secure two‑thirds in both chambers to become law, with the ATN measure now returning to Deputies and the other two headed to the Senate for votes slated for October 2.
• The government convened a Cabinet meeting after Milei returned from Paraguay and signaled doubts about taking the disputes to court, while the president publicly criticized former allies over the votes.
• Market pressure built as the official wholesale dollar hit the top of its band and the Central Bank sold about $53 million to steady the currency, and the Speaker of Deputies, Martín Menem, used a procedural move to lift a session and avert further defeats.
