Overview

• Senate leaders confirmed a Thursday session at 11 a.m. after Labor Parlamentaria set the agenda to address the disability veto and a bill revising rules for Decrees of Necessity and Urgency.
• Vice President Victoria Villarruel will not preside because she will assume executive duties during President Javier Milei’s trip to the United States, so provisional president Bartolomé Abdala will chair the session.
• Opposition blocs say they have the numbers to insist on the disability law, which would reinstate the measure through December 31, 2026, marking the first successful veto override since 2003.
• The Office of Budget of Congress estimates the disability package would cost 0.28% to 0.51% of GDP, with measures that include updated payments to providers and expanded pension guarantees.
• The chamber will also take up a DNU reform that requires congressional treatment within 90 days or the decree lapses, demands ratification by both houses, and allows rejection by a single chamber, as senators prepare privilege motions tied to leaked ANDIS audios, a Security Ministry complaint, and Judge Patricio Alejandro Maraniello’s order restricting their dissemination.
