Overview
- The government plans a second extraordinary congressional window from February 2 to 27 to seek final passage of three priority bills that already have committee approval.
- Officials have reactivated talks to pass the labor "modernization" plan in February, with Patricia Bullrich, Diego Santilli and Martín Menem leading negotiations and a tentative February 10 vote under discussion.
- The fiscal stability law would enshrine budget balance by penalizing officials or public bank directors for excessive spending or distortionary monetary issuance, drawing opposition criticism given concurrent revenue‑reducing tax cuts.
- Changes to the Glaciers Law would maintain glacier protection yet shift resource regulation to provinces and lift prohibitions in periglacial zones to enable mining and hydrocarbon projects.
- A sweeping Penal Code rewrite remains off the February agenda and has not been formally filed, though drafts outline harsher penalties, an updated juvenile regime and new cybercrime provisions.
