Overview
- This week Patricia Bullrich announced she will exercise a formal objection to the executive’s request to withdraw Verónica Michelli’s judicial nomination, breaking public unity inside the governing coalition.
- The refusal follows a presidential instruction to pull Michelli’s nomination over her family tie to journalist Hugo Alconada Mon and leaves the Senate split on whether to honor the withdrawal request.
- Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni has delayed filing his 2025 sworn asset declaration while a federal probe into alleged illicit enrichment continues and officials say the declaration will be presented 'soon'.
- The government lacks the votes to fully abolish PASO primary elections and is negotiating alternatives such as optional primaries or 'lema'‑style rules to salvage parts of its electoral reform.
