Opposition Moves to Launch Libra Probe Into Milei’s Role

A rule change now lets the Chamber’s majority blocs pick the commission’s leaders.

Overview

  • The commission is set to investigate the political responsibility of President Javier Milei and his sister Karina in the promotion of the Libra memecoin, which is under a separate judicial probe for alleged fraud.
  • Opposition blocs—Unión por la Patria, Encuentro Federal, Democracia para Siempre, the Coalición Cívica, and the left—plan to define the leadership today from three candidates: Sabrina Selva, Óscar Agost Carreño, and Maximiliano Ferraro.
  • The modified resolution, authored by Ferraro and approved in the Chamber, allows leadership selection by blocs holding a majority in the full plenum and breaks the previous 14–14 deadlock.
  • The commission’s mandate includes a final reporting deadline of November 10, 2025, with plans for weekly or ten‑day meetings to set rules and issue information requests.
  • The ruling coalition and allies vow to challenge the activation, with PRO deputy Silvana Giudici arguing the original term has expired and criticizing the new tie‑break rule as unconstitutional.
