Deputies Set DNU Limits Vote in Committee as 2026 Budget Hearings Begin

Internal rifts over censure efforts, together with the failed two‑thirds bid on ATN funds, shape the opposition’s leverage.

Overview

  • Opposition blocs postponed a planned full session by one week due to disputes over the agenda.
  • The Constitutional Affairs and Peticiones–Reglamento plenario will seek a committee report on Tuesday at 14:00 on the Senate‑approved curb to emergency decrees, with peronist, radical and provincial blocs positioned to back it.
  • The DNU reform would require congressional ratification within 90 days and void a decree if either chamber rejects it, without undoing past legal effects.
  • The Budget committee, chaired by José Luis Espert, will hear Treasury secretary Carlos Guberman on Wednesday at 13:00, while the opposition presses to summon Economy minister Luis Caputo and Central Bank president Santiago Biasuli.
  • Sectors of Unión por la Patria and allies push to interpellate and possibly censure Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos, but radicals and provincial deputies resist his removal, and the ATN revenue‑sharing dispute remains unresolved after falling short of two‑thirds in Deputies.
