Overview
- A six‑tranche agreement signed on March 11 lifts the módulo to $2,874.26 on May 1, with cumulative rises of roughly 12.5% from December to May (2%, 2.5%, 2.2%, 2%, 1.7%, 1.5%).
- Because senators’ compensation is fixed at 4,000 módulos under Resolution 8/24, gross monthly diets will move from about $10.2 million to roughly $11.4–$11.6 million by May.
- La Libertad Avanza and the UCR announced they will forgo the paritaria‑driven raise, joined by provincial legislators including the three from Santiago del Estero and figures such as Luis Juez and Alejandra Vigo.
- Vice President and Senate President Victoria Villarruel said she does not set senators’ pay and suggested channeling any increases to the Ricardo Gutiérrez Children’s Hospital, with senators filing letters to formalize renunciations or donations.
- The update highlights a widening gap with the Chamber of Deputies, where pay is set differently and was around $6 million gross in recent data, renewing debate over the 2024 linkage and transparency around legislators’ compensation.
