Overview
- A federal judge, Martín Cormick, declared on Tuesday that the portion of Decree 759/2025 that suspended Law 27.795 was unconstitutional and ordered the Executive Branch to apply the law at once.
- The court said the decree operated as an extraconstitutional, veto-like mechanism because it conditioned promulgation after Congress had insisted on the bill under the Constitution’s two-thirds rule.
- The judge required the presidency to issue the implementing regulations and held the National State liable for legal costs in the case.
- The decision builds on a prior precautionary injunction that was confirmed by an appeals court and left firm after the Supreme Court rejected an extraordinary appeal earlier this year.
- In assessing feasibility the judge noted Argentina had no new budget law for 2024–2025, cited a Congressional Budget Office estimate that the law’s 2025 cost was about 0.23% of nominal GDP, and incorporated the June 10, 2026 paritaria agreements that updated salaries and operating funds for universities.
