• In the same session, deputies sustained the presidential veto on a bill to raise pensions by 7.2% and expand a bonus to 110,000 pesos for minimum beneficiaries.
• Financial stress intensified as the central bank confirmed the TAMAR wholesale time-deposit rate at a record 76.6% and exchange cauciones spiked intraday near 150% before closing around 70% nominal annual.
• Speaking to business leaders, Milei accused the opposition of having “seized” Congress, while Economy Minister Luis Caputo said the confrontation ultimately benefits the government and Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos touted an “empate” helped by allied PRO and UCR governors.
• The government removed disability agency chief Diego Spagnuolo after leaked audios alleging bribe payments, with officials saying the matter is under judicial investigation.
