Overview

• Opposition leader José Mayans instructed senators to be in Buenos Aires for a special session on October 2 to attempt to nullify the vetoes on university funding and the Garrahan pediatric emergency.
• The Chamber of Deputies already rejected both vetoes with wide margins this week, voting 181–60 for university financing and 174–67 for the Garrahan measure.
• The Senate previously approved the Garrahan and university bills by 62 and 58 votes, respectively, totals that would surpass the 48 votes needed to reach two‑thirds if maintained.
• The government is working to preserve the presidential veto on the ATN law in the lower house, where the opposition does not yet have a locked two‑thirds majority.
• Opposition senators are preparing a bill to declare Argentina’s nuclear system a non‑alienable strategic public good after government statements favoring privatization.
