Overview
- The Presidency transmitted DNU 941/25 to the Legislature at the end of the legal window, triggering a ten business‑day review by the Bicameral Commission that has yet to be constituted.
- Under law, if the commission does not issue a report in time, either chamber can take the decree to the floor, and it is annulled only if both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies vote to reject it.
- Opposition blocs report roughly 122 deputies ready to vote against the measure and are preparing an early‑February session, while Senate numbers remain uncertain and PRO signals cautious evaluation.
- The decree authorizes intelligence personnel to apprehend persons with immediate notice to police, classifies all intelligence activities as covert, moves Cybersecurity under the Cabinet Chief, and is defended by SIDE as modernization with stronger controls.
- Multiple amparos challenge the decree’s constitutionality and its regulation of penal matters, but Judge Walter Lara Correa, echoing Fiscal Fabián Canda, declined to habilitate the recess, so the cases await ordinary courts and the decree stays in force.
