Overview
- The Chamber of Deputies approved three AGN auditors during the December 18 budget session: Rita Mónica Almada (La Libertad Avanza), Juan Ignacio Forlón (Unión por la Patria), and Pamela Calletti (Salta’s Innovación Federal).
- PRO lawmakers left the chamber for the vote and later denied enabling the outcome, noting the measure passed with 189 votes that exceeded the three‑quarters threshold without their participation.
- Bloc leader Cristian Ritondo filed an amparo seeking a declaration of unconstitutionality, annulment of the resolution, an urgent injunction to stop the appointees from assuming or acting, and restoration of the prior institutional state.
- The filing argues the motion was introduced in the early hours on a subject not authorized for extraordinary sessions, which PRO says violates Article 63 and parliamentary rules.
- Government and allied legislators defend the process as regular, while analysts point to recent LLA–peronist cooperation on AGN seats and the Budget as a potential factor in 2026 debates on labor reform and Supreme Court nominations.
