Overview

• The Senate convened at 10 a.m. to consider rejecting President Javier Milei’s vetoes to the university financing law and the pediatric emergency focused on Hospital Garrahan.
• Opposition tallies indicate they likely have the two‑thirds needed to insist, with Unión por la Patria joined by many Radicals, some PRO senators and provincial blocs, while the government counts few firm allies.
• If the chamber overrides the vetoes, the Executive must promulgate the laws or risk a constitutional clash that could reach the Supreme Court, a scenario shaped by the prior disability emergency case that was promulgated but its application was suspended.
• Fiscal notes cited by Congress’s Budget Office put the university measure near 1.9 trillion pesos in 2025 (about 0.23% of GDP), while the pediatric emergency carried an estimate a little above 65,000 million pesos for the second half of the year.
• Teachers at the National University of Rosario staged a 24‑hour strike and public vigil as the debate unfolded, while the session agenda also includes the Alerta Sofía system, judicial appointments and tax treaties, with an opposition push to add limits on selling Nucleoeléctrica shares.
