Overview

  • Opposition blocs moved to force interpellations, seek a special investigatory commission, and demand documents, with hearings set to question Health Minister Mario Lugones and ANDIS interventor Alejandro Vilches.
  • Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos is slated to deliver his report in the Chamber of Deputies this week as lawmakers prepare to press the administration over the recordings and procurement at ANDIS.
  • Casa Rosada ended its public silence, resumed campaign operations, and showcased denials from Eduardo 'Lule' Menem and backing from Martín Menem, while Javier Milei returned to the trail with an event in Junín.
  • The federal probe led by Judge Casanello and prosecutor Franco Picardi executed 15 searches and seized phones, documents, and over US$200,000 reportedly tied to Suizo Argentina executive Emmanuel Kovalivker.
  • A related hearing for Nordelta security chief Ariel De Vincentis was delayed as he is investigated for possible concealment linked to the escape of Jonathan Kovalivker, and the government prepared to contest in court a disability funding law while holding increases on pause.
