Overview
- Officials say the President will sign the call on Friday with publication in the Official Gazette expected by Tuesday.
- The agenda to be sent includes the 2026 budget, a labor overhaul, a fiscal innocence measure, Criminal Code changes, Glacier law modifications, and a partial tax reform.
- The labor bill, expected to be unveiled next week, targets private-sector rules with curbs on labor litigation and changes on union democracy and tax burdens, without altering public employment.
- Draft Criminal Code changes reported by local media raise penalties, make serious offenses imprescriptible, and reinforce legitimate defense, including for crimes such as aggravated homicide, sexual abuse, trafficking, terrorism, and narcotrafficking.
- The government is pressing for mid-December passage of the budget in the lower house as Interior Minister Diego Santilli and Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni court governors, with Buenos Aires City’s Jorge Macri withholding a commitment and seeking a coparticipation line item; an extension into February is under consideration.
