Overview
- La Libertad Avanza called a prior Chamber of Deputies session for Wednesday at 10 a.m. to debate the deregulatory “ley Hojarasca” and changes to Zonas Frías, a program that discounts gas bills in colder areas.
- Opposition blocs scheduled a separate 11 a.m. session the same day to open key committees and seek to question Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni over alleged irregularities and his finances.
- The timing forces opponents to gather quorum twice after last week’s bid to interpel Adorni fell short of the 129 deputies required to open a session.
- The draft keeps full discounts in Patagonia and narrows newer benefits to low‑income households in a targeted registry, which could raise heating costs for many families in recently added provinces.
- Passage is uncertain as governors and deputies from Córdoba and Santa Fe resist trims, while President Javier Milei shows public support for Adorni with joint events even as reports cite judicial scrutiny of his circle, including his brother Francisco.
