Overview
- The APL union and congressional authorities signed a six‑month agreement that sets the salary module at 2,554.84 pesos, lifting gross Senate diets to about 10,216,000 pesos starting with November accruals.
- Diets are calculated on 4,000 modules per senator, comprising 2,500 base modules plus 1,000 for representation and 500 for desarraigo.
- The paritaria grants 1.3% monthly increases with a 25,000‑peso remunerative bonus for June–August and 1.2% with a 20,000‑peso bonus for September–November, an accumulated 7.52% that determines the new module value.
- Because many lawmakers previously opted out under a resolution by Vice President Victoria Villarruel, roughly half the chamber will actually receive the updated amount, with most Unión por la Patria senators not renouncing.
- President Javier Milei denounced the raise on X as "a shame" while several senators countered that Villarruel and the Government are using the pay issue to divert attention from recent defeats in the upper house.
