Menem argues the changes would draw millions of informal workers into formal jobs with protections.

Overview

  • Extraordinary sessions are slated to begin after December 10 under the newly configured Chamber of Deputies.
  • The agenda prioritizes the 2026 Budget, state modernization, labor reform and an updated Penal Code.
  • The ruling bloc expects to hold more than 80 deputies and plans coordinated work with the Senate to accelerate votes.
