In addition, modification of the Penal Code regarding Recidivism, Reiteration and Unification of Sentences was included in the agenda.
He National Congress enters the last of its ordinary activity and the call for sessions intensifies. That is why, after the sanction of the Single Paper Ballot projectthe official arch will seek approval in Deputies of two electoral reform proposals: Clean Sheet and the vote of Argentines abroad.
The opinion of the project Clean Sheet was reached in September of this year and seeks prevent those who have a criminal conviction with a second-instance ruling for certain crimes from being candidates for elective public office (influence peddling, embezzlement of public funds, illicit enrichment, concealment and fraud to the detriment of public administration). The temporary disqualification is maintained until the conviction is revoked or the sentence is served. The initiative is supported by La Libertad Avanza, the PRO, Federal Meeting, Civic Coalition and the UCR.
The other proposal will seek to modify the Registration of Voters Resident Abroadcreated by law in 1991. Within this framework, it is intended to enable the postal vote instead of the current system, where the vote in person at Argentine consulates.
For its part, the reforms of the Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code around the reiterationwhich would imply that a person who is being prosecuted for various criminal cases spends the investigation time in a confinement context before being tried. It also seeks to aggravate sentences for recidivismwhich refers to people who commit a new crime once a sentence has ended.

The date of call of the November 21 session is not a coincidence: The 20th is the last day for the commission’s opinions to be submitted to the chamber for voting and the opposition anticipates that the ruling party will be able to reach a consensus on the draft of the Budget 2025 for that date, so those absent on this day will not repeat the absence next week in case the two agendas converge. There they estimate they will have a better result.
From the official spectrum they seek to rely on a technicality to prevent the treatment of the opposition agenda from being included. on the legislative agenda: the request for the blocks was a request for the postponement of a session that was never consummated.
