Overview
- AGN president Juan Manuel Olmos administered a hurried swearing-in for Rita Mónica Almada, Juan Ignacio Forlón and Cinthia Pamela Calletti, asserting the process was lawful and restored the audit body’s quorum.
- PRO bloc chief Cristian Ritondo filed an amparo seeking to nullify the Chamber of Deputies’ designations and requested a precautionary order to suspend the incorporations, with the case pending judicial assignment.
- PRO’s filing argues the early-morning vote violated the extraordinary-session agenda and due process, alleging the motion lacked committee treatment and proper procedural steps.
- Deputy Gabriel Bornoroni introduced the motion at roughly 2:55 a.m., according to PRO’s reconstruction, prompting opposition blocs to walk out of the session.
- Interior Minister Diego Santilli defended the designations as a congressional prerogative and said any dispute will be resolved by the courts, as the episode intensifies friction between PRO and La Libertad Avanza over an alleged pact with kirchnerismo.
