Overview
- Budget hearings intensified in the lower house as Security Minister Patricia Bullrich testified and lawmakers pressed for Economy Minister Luis Caputo, whose appearance was not granted.
- Dialoguista blocs and Unión por la Patria intend to file alternative committee reports on November 4, with a potential special Deputies session targeted for November 11–13 and Senate action before November 30.
- The executive will convene extraordinary sessions to take up the 2026 budget and possibly the labor reform before the new Congress is seated on December 10.
- The administration plans to submit a new Bases II bill and a separate deregulation package on December 15, alongside a broader agenda spanning labor, tax, pension changes and a lower age of criminal responsibility.
- LLA’s strengthened numbers from December (about 83 deputies and 20 senators) increase leverage, yet Martín Menem acknowledged public differences with adviser Santiago Caputo as governors and centrist blocs remain key for quorums and votes.
