Ruling Bloc Secures Quorum for Marathon Deputies Session to Push Private‑Property Bill

A vote could send the text back to the Senate, forcing interchamber talks over limits on foreign rural land, disability benefits, household debt rules, medicines traceability and rural‑vandalism penalties.

Overview

  • The Chamber of Deputies began a special session on Wednesday after the ruling bloc gathered quorum with 131 deputies and President Martín Menem opened a marathon debate focused on the government's agenda.
  • The session centers on the 'Inviolability of Private Property' bill that includes proposed Articles 38–39 to annul Article 154 of DNU 70/2023 and reinstate the Law of Rural Lands; approval in Deputies would send the amended text back to the Senate for reconsideration.
  • On disability policy the official bloc is promoting a law to make benefits permanent rather than the opposition's one‑year emergency extension, with the Treasury saying resources are available and the Executive pledging not to veto what the Chamber approves.
  • On household debt La Libertad Avanza is backing measures that focus on financial education, credit transparency and digital‑fraud prevention while the opposition seeks a declared credit emergency to refinance debts and forgive punitive interest.
  • Lawmakers will also debate a medicines‑traceability bill to create real‑time digital registries and protocols for contamination, plus a rural‑vandalism package that raises penalties for unlawful entry and the destruction of agricultural assets, moves that could reshape land markets and trigger interchamber and social pushback.
