Overview

• During the same session, senators voted to reject five executive decrees advanced by the Milei administration.
• José Mayans defended legislators’ salaries, accused President Javier Milei of lying about earnings, and argued senators make less than a lower-court judge.
• With the approved adjustment, gross Senate pay is set to reach roughly ARS 10.216 million from December, with an estimated net near ARS 6.6 million after income tax.
• The Unión por la Patria bloc is poised to benefit most, as most of its 34 senators declined Vice President Victoria Villarruel’s opt-out; only Alicia Kirchner and Fernando Rejal are not taking the raise.
• Virginia Gallardo responded on X, noting she is a candidate for deputy, criticizing Mayans’ language toward a woman, and alleging a targeted clip tied to Misiones senators’ ‘Ficha Limpia’ vote.
