Overview
- Federal Judge Martín Cormick of Administrative Court No. 11 granted a precautionary injunction that temporarily renders Decree 759/2025 inapplicable.
- He ordered immediate compliance with Law 27.795’s articles 5 and 6 to update university salaries and student scholarships, with the measure in force until a final ruling under a sworn bond.
- The ruling found, on a preliminary review, that suspending a law insisted on by Congress shows arbitrariness and that the Constitution does not allow a suspensive workaround after Article 83 insistence.
- The court referenced Congressional Budget Office estimates of roughly 0.23% of GDP for the law’s cost to argue the claimed fiscal harm is limited.
- The government is evaluating reallocating budget items or issuing a decree to fund compliance as it seeks Senate approval of the 2026 Budget, and university and student groups praised the ruling.
