Overview
- Federal Judge Martín Cormick of Contencioso Administrativo Federal No. 11 granted an innovative injunction declaring Decree 759/2025 inapplicable and compelling immediate application of Articles 5 and 6 of Law 27.795.
- The case stems from a collective amparo filed by the National Interuniversity Council and other university entities after Congress overrode a presidential veto of the law.
- The order requires automatic updates for university teachers’ pay and student scholarships tied to inflation and will remain in force until a final ruling under a sworn-caution guarantee.
- In his preliminary reasoning, the judge called the suspension arbitrary, stressed that congressional insistence leaves no suspensive administrative option, and cited a Congressional Budget Office estimate of roughly 0.23% of GDP to downplay fiscal harm.
- University and student organizations welcomed the ruling, while the Executive considers reallocating funds or issuing a decree to implement the updates as it seeks Senate passage of the 2026 Budget.
