Overview

• On July 22, the Asociación Trabajadores del Estado and APINTA jointly filed amparo expediente 29320/2025 at the Juzgado Nacional del Trabajo to suspend key articles of DNU 462/2025
• The challenge asserts that the decree exceeds powers delegated under Law 27.742 and unconstitutionally dissolves INTA’s autonomous structure
• Petitioners requested an urgent precautionary order barring any administrative acts affecting INTA staff, including reassignments, dismissals and non-renewal of contracts
• Delegates from the Instituto Nacional de Vitivinicultura have lodged a parallel injunction to halt similar centralization measures and safeguard regional research jobs
• Unions warn that Congress is poised to ratify the decree in August, leaving judicial review as the only avenue to contest the government’s March centralization plan
