Overview

• Hours after the Senate voted 59–10 (with two abstentions) to reject Decree 462/2025, the Economy Ministry published Resolution 1240/2025 placing permanent staff from INTA, INASE and INV in disponibilidad for up to 12 months.
• Reports differ on the headcount affected, ranging from 343 to 367 employees; ATE details 286 at INTA, 49 at the INV and 8 at INASE.
• The resolution also restricts unpaid leave, service commissions, secondments and temporary function assignments for personnel at the three institutions.
• A federal court injunction by Judge Martina Isabel Forns ordered the Executive to abstain for six months from acts implementing Decree 462/2025 at INTA, including transfers, layoffs and availability.
• Unions and opposition figures condemned the move as illegal after the congressional rejection, as workers mobilized at the Plaza del Congreso and announced further legal challenges.
