Overview

  • The upper house convenes at 10 a.m. to vote on the two-thirds override after Deputies already rejected the vetoes in mid-September.
  • Vote counts signaled by Unión por la Patria with support from parts of the UCR, PRO and provincial blocs suggest the required supermajority is in reach.
  • If the override passes, the Executive must promulgate both laws, though Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos says no spending will proceed without specified funding sources.
  • University sectors are mobilizing nationwide, with a 24-hour strike and rally by UNR teachers in Rosario, a 24-hour strike at the UNT in Tucumán, and Garrahan workers staging a stoppage of more than 24 hours with a march to Congress at 12:30.
  • The session agenda also includes the Alerta Sofía bill, judicial appointments, and an opposition push to add debate on blocking the partial privatization of Nucleoeléctrica.
