Opposition Nears Threshold to Bring Vote on Milei’s Intelligence Decree

A joint civic declaration brands the measure unconstitutional.

Overview

  • Opposition leaders say they have 122 votes in the Chamber of Deputies against the decree and are working to reach 125 to take the rejection to the floor.
  • The decree remains in force as a DNU until both chambers of Congress vote to reject it.
  • Twenty‑three civil organizations urge Congress to strike it down, warning of mass surveillance and arbitrary detentions.
  • Critics cite provisions allowing intelligence agents to make apprehensions without clear judicial safeguards and requiring data transfers from more than 15 public agencies.
  • At least three legal challenges have been filed, and a Friday deadline for formal transmission to Congress would trigger a ten‑business‑day bicameral review.
