Six Deputies Form 'Desarrollo y Coherencia' Bloc Ahead of 2026 Budget Debate

Led by Oscar Zago after the MID broke with the PRO, the six-seat bloc positions itself to sway quorums ahead of the 2026 budget debate.

Overview

  • Oscar Zago formalized the new interbloc in the Chamber of Deputies and will preside over it after submitting the documentation to the chamber authorities.
  • The lineup includes Carlos D'Alessandro, Marcela Pagano, Lourdes Arrieta and Gerardo González from Coherencia, plus Zago and Eduardo Falcone from the MID.
  • The MID officially ended its partnership with the PRO and joined the ex-LLA lawmakers to create Desarrollo y Coherencia.
  • The group has recently voted with the opposition to insist on the Pediatric Emergency Law for the Garrahan Hospital and on university funding, both vetoed by President Javier Milei.
  • Their first test comes Wednesday as the Budget and Finance Committee opens debate on the 2026 budget, with concern noted that Zago and Falcone sit on that committee; the bloc also plans to renew the push for Marcela Pagano to chair the Impeachment Committee, and none of its members face reelection on October 26.
