Overview

• Juan Schiaretti, through deputy Carlos Gutiérrez, backed a censure initiative against Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos that already carries signatures from Miguel Pichetto, Nicolás Massot, Emilio Monzó, Margarita Stolbizer, Mónica Fein and Esteban Paulón.
• Multiple censure motions were filed in the Chamber of Deputies by different blocs, but they must first be pushed onto committee agendas before an interpellation and any removal vote that would require absolute majorities in both chambers, with some blocs like Democracia para Siempre and the Coalición Cívica still uncommitted.
• The Senate prepared to interpel Karina Milei next week over the $Libra memecoin case and alleged bribe schemes at ANDIS, while the kirchnerist request to censure Francos was not placed on the committees’ agendas.
• Deputy Esteban Paulón filed a criminal complaint against President Javier Milei and Francos for alleged abuse of power and failure to perform duties, and lawmakers are coordinating collective cautelares and amparos that they expect could reach the Supreme Court.
• The Executive justified suspending the law’s application until specific funding sources are identified, a stance opposition legislators dispute by citing the chief of cabinet’s existing authority to reallocate budget items.
