Overview

• Constitutional Affairs Committee debate turned acrimonious as Pamela Calletti rebuked Rodolfo Tailhade during arguments over advancing the desafuero.
• Salta’s Juzgado Federal de Garantías Nº 2 asked the Chamber to remove Estrada’s immunity in a case alleging embezzlement, abuse of authority and intimidation tied to fake-account campaigns against Governor Gustavo Sáenz.
• Unión por la Patria legislators argued the request is not firm due to a jurisdictional conflict and cast the push as political persecution.
• Calletti insisted Congress must take up the request and cited testimony that former congressional staff created false profiles to spread defamatory content, a point La Voz reported included two advisers who admitted roles and accepted abbreviated convictions.
• The judicial case continues as federal courts have already rejected defense appeals, and committee chair Nicolás Mayoraz floated opening a debate to update the Law of Fuero.
