Overview

  • The three officials formally notified the Chamber that they would not attend, with messages arriving to deputies late Tuesday night.
  • Economy Minister Luis Caputo said he is out of the country on an official mission in the United States, preventing his appearance.
  • Secretary General Karina Milei cited prior commitments, and Health Minister Mario Lugones invoked unpostponable schedule issues while offering to submit information in writing.
  • Caputo had been called to explain negotiations over potential U.S. financial support, as recent statements by President Donald Trump heightened scrutiny.
  • Karina Milei and Lugones were to be questioned about alleged kickbacks tied to disability supplies, opposition leaders condemned the no-shows, and no rescheduling or enforcement step was reported as the Constitution allows summons without mandating attendance.
