Overview

  • A judge in San Martín provisionally barred any administrative actions under Decree 461/2025, halting the planned dissolution of the Dirección Nacional de Vialidad, Agencia Nacional de Seguridad Vial and Comisión Nacional del Tránsito y la Seguridad Vial.
  • Government spokesperson Adorni confirmed the Milei administration has filed an appeal to overturn the injunction and resume staff reassignments, transfers and structural changes.
  • The Sindicato Trabajadores Viales y Afines de la República Argentina formally petitioned the bicameral legislative commission to revoke the decree, arguing it fails to designate successors for Vialidad’s ongoing infrastructure and maintenance duties.
  • Decree 461/2025 would consolidate dissolved agencies’ functions into the Secretaría de Transporte’s transport secretariat and a new Agencia de Control de Concesiones y Servicios Públicos de Transporte to centralize oversight and investigative roles.
  • President Milei’s team maintains the overhaul will eliminate redundancies, reduce operational costs and professionalize transport governance, but its implementation remains stalled pending court and congressional outcomes.
