Overview

• Lower-house committees advanced a majority opinion to summon Karina Milei and Health Minister Mario Lugones over alleged kickbacks at the disability agency, teeing up a floor vote in early October.
• Encuentro Federal and allied blocs formally filed a motion of censure to remove Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos for not executing Law 27.793 after Congress overrode the veto.
• Francos said the law’s execution is suspended for lack of explicit partidas under Ley 24.156 and indicated he would appear in Congress if called to defend the decree.
• Judge Sebastián Casanello ordered raids in the ANDIS probe, with seizures of devices and cash including about US$266,000 and 7 million pesos, as one suspect was caught attempting to flee.
• Opponents argue the temporary elimination of export duties through October 31 undercuts the government’s claim that there are no resources to fund the disability emergency.
