Overview
- APL’s Norberto Di Próspero signed the six‑month agreement on August 21 with Senate president Victoria Villarruel and Chamber chief Martín Menem, running through November.
- The deal grants 1.3% for June–August with ARS 25,000 monthly bonuses and 1.2% for September–November with ARS 20,000 bonuses, a 7.52% cumulative adjustment.
- Under the 4,000‑module formula (2,500 base, 1,000 representation, 500 desarraigo), the new module value produces about ARS 10,216,000 gross per senator, reflected in early December pay.
- Roughly half the chamber had formally renounced earlier automatic increases, so only about half will receive the full rise; Alicia Kirchner continues to draw her pension instead of a diet.
- Mandatory deductions, including income tax reported around 35%, will reduce take‑home pay, as President Javier Milei condemned the move and Senate leaders countered his claims.
