Overview

  • Patricia Bullrich confirmed her bid as La Libertad Avanza’s senatorial candidate in Buenos Aires as most slates closed by the Aug. 17 deadline.
  • The Milei administration introduced alternative ATN and fuel-tax distribution bills reducing provinces’ share to roughly 40%, prompting defections among provincial-aligned deputies.
  • Mendoza UCR deputies Lisandro Nieri and Pamela Verasay co-authored minority reports with LLA on ATN and fuel-tax reforms to forge a unified draft and avert a presidential veto.
  • Opposition blocs including Unión por la Patria, Encuentro Federal and Coalición Cívica requested a special Aug. 20 session to insist on vetoed pension, disability and revenue-redistribution laws.
  • Internal disputes among Peronist leaders over Buenos Aires list placements have intensified as Máximo Kirchner emerges as a leading contender for the deputy ticket.
