• The Frente de Todos bloc formally asked the Chamber of Deputies to summon Minister of Desregulation Federico Sturzenegger to explain his alleged role in the ANDIS kickbacks investigation.
• New recordings attributed to ex-ANDIS chief Diego Spagnuolo name Sturzenegger and Minister Sandra Pettovello and include claims about a resolution published by Sturzenegger and a request to “give a hand.”
• The parliamentary request presses for answers on alleged directives to cancel disability pensions, bypass individualized medical evaluations, empower select officials, and the cut of internal audit staff from 16 to 5.
• Health Minister Mario Lugones ordered an internal disciplinary review and an audit in the disability area, with the inquiry beginning Tuesday.
• Reporting and probes reference a wider network involving Eduardo “Lule” Menem, Chamber president Martín Menem, and supplier Suizo Argentina, with earlier links to Menem’s Gentech noted in a 2024 complaint that was later dismissed.
