Overview
- The lower house advanced the 2026 spending plan to the Senate after negotiations that stretched through the day.
- The package authorizes a rollover of about 354 billion pesos and a 240 billion‑peso loan earmarked for the Tren de Cercanías and Metrotranvía extensions to the provincial airport and Luján de Cuyo.
- Support came from La Unión Mendocina, the PRO and other minor blocs, and the PJ backed the budget in general despite reservations voiced during debate.
- Earlier, deputies passed the Valuation and Tax laws by wide margins (36–8 and 35–10), in both cases without PJ support.
- The budget framework outlines roughly 5 trillion pesos in spending, total outlays above 5.6 trillion and about 900 billion for capital works, while PJ legislators criticized an estimated 648 billion‑peso financial deficit and pressed concerns over municipal funding and the public lighting fund.
