Overview

  • The Second Circuit is poised to decide whether to maintain the stay halting delivery of 51 percent of YPF shares to satisfy a US$16.1 billion judgment or to lift it or demand other guarantees.
  • Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos warned that transferring state-owned YPF shares is legally unworkable without prior congressional authorization under Law 26.741.
  • In the Vialidad case, the court-ordered deadline for depositing roughly ARS 684 billion in reparations expires tomorrow, with no payments logged and a risk of seizing embargoed assets as Cristina Kirchner’s legal team moves to halt execution.
  • President Javier Milei convened dinners with La Libertad Avanza and PRO deputies in Olivos to shore up votes for his vetoes after a series of parliamentary defeats.
  • Provincial governors and opposition blocs are pushing Congress to reverse presidential vetoes on funding measures, heightening political stakes as the executive works to maintain support in a divided legislature.
