Overview
- Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni confirmed the decree convening Congress to extraordinary sessions from December 10 to 30 with the Executive setting the agenda.
- The docket includes the 2026 budget, Inocencia Fiscal, a labor “modernization,” Penal Code changes, and adjustments to the Glaciers law requested by some governors.
- The government is pursuing a two‑stage plan with an initial December push for at least a first chamber approval and a follow‑up round in February after a January pause.
- La Libertad Avanza now holds 95 seats as the first minority in the Chamber of Deputies, improving its grip on committees but still requiring cross‑bloc votes for passage.
- A circulating labor bill draft outlines a cessation fund in lieu of severance, hour banks, company‑level deals, productivity pay, and broader essential services, drawing rejection from unions and the Peronist Party.
