Overview
- Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni announced eight initiatives, led by Penal Code changes focused on tougher sentences and bills on expropriations, land, fires and urban land regularization, plus pending work on glaciers, disability and university financing laws.
- Libertarian lawmakers said they learned of the package from social media and convened urgent meetings to align strategy, underscoring coordination gaps inside La Libertad Avanza.
- Coverage of the $LIBRA probe and scrutiny of Adorni’s travel continued to pressure the administration, as Justice Minister Juan Bautista Mahiques met Supreme Court justices and allies advised delaying Adorni’s congressional report.
- In Rosario, a suspect known as “Miguelito” surrendered to investigators and was placed at the disposal of prosecutors in cases tied to a supermarket shooting, an attempted killing and the homicide of 18-year-old Tamara Milagros Molina.
- Local security policy moved in parallel: a Capital city ordinance to prohibit “trapitos” and empower the municipal guard drew constitutional and discrimination concerns from opponents, which sponsor Diego Figueroa publicly rejected; elsewhere, a major gang trial opened in Rosario and police reported arrests after lethal robberies in Greater Buenos Aires and an attempted warehouse theft in Bahía Blanca.
