Overview

• Half of Argentina’s senators will move to a gross ARS 10,216,000 monthly pay starting in November or December, with an estimated net near ARS 6.6 million after income tax.
• The chamber also rejected five executive decrees advanced by the Milei administration during the same session.
• Most members of Unión por la Patria declined to renounce the automatic adjustment enabled earlier this year, concentrating the raise’s impact in that bloc.
• José Mayans, UxP leader in the Senate, called Virginia Gallardo “tonta y estúpida” on the floor while disputing claims that legislators earn ARS 10 million.
• Gallardo replied on X that she is a candidate for deputy, defended her prior salary comments from a May TV appearance, and argued senators will earn even more.
