Without the certainty of having a quorum, and before the urgency presented by the end of ordinary sessionsthe main blocks of the Chamber of Deputies presented last week four calls to debate a series of bills of different caliber. The parliamentary agenda will begin on Tuesday, continue on Wednesday and end on Thursday.
The project was discussed in the Labor Legislation Commission and although 31 members participated in the last meeting, only 15 signed that office, given that the president of the Federal Meeting block, Miguel Pichetto, opposed signing his signature. Last Thursday Tetaz sent a letter to the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martin Menem, to request that this file be included in the session, in order to determine its validity, but since that did not happen, he requested the special session.
Hours later, at 3pm, the highlight of the day will arrive. The Union for the Homeland benches and the radicals of Democracy Forever, confronted with the ruling party, will seek to reach a quorum to discuss the repeal of the Javier Milei’s DNU that enabled the debt exchange without approval from Parliament. Although the scenario is uncertain, it is expected that on this occasion, unlike the previous attempt, support will arrive from Catamarca, Santiago del Estero and Córdoba together with autonomous legislators.
For the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, It is essential to maintain decree 846 because it allows you to renegotiate the debt without having to comply with the requirements established in the financial administration law, which are to improve two of these three requirements: terms, interest or amount.
From the provinces they demand that the ruling party resume the debate on the Budget 2025 and they could use the treatment on the Debt DNU as a pressure mechanism to attract the Government to the negotiating table.
The governors of Together for Change are waiting for talks to resume with the Government on the 2025 Budget. In the last hours they once again insisted on the need for hold a meeting with the Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francos, and the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, to seek to unblock the approval of next year’s spending and resources law.
That negotiation could take place in the next few hours, although there is no meeting scheduled yet – to try to make progress in the Budget, whose treatment ruling party suspended on Tuesday due to lack of agreement With the dialogue blocks it is likely that this session will fail again.
The UCR Last week he asked that talks on the 2025 spending and resources law be resumed and this Sunday the governor of Chubut did so again, Ignacio Torres, who considered it essential that this law be approved and the term not be extended again Budget 2023.
Wednesday: Congress will debate the project on gambling addiction
In the middle of the week, on Wednesday, Deputies will meet again to debate and eventually approve the project that seeks to combat gambling addiction and the phenomenon of cyber betting, where strong restrictions on advertising are established to encourage gambling. The call was made for 12.
The deputies decided to advance a law to limit the advertising on social networks and mediaas well as the sponsorship of football teams, given the growth in betting by adolescents and young people with alarming numbers.

The debate will take place amid strong pressure from betting companies to not discuss this initiative, according to the president of the Addiction Prevention and Drug Trafficking Commission, Mónica Frade.

The landing of the former head of the Ministry of the Interior will take place in the middle of the new escalation of tension between President Javier Milei and Villarruel, which intensified in the last hours after the president linked the head of the Senate with the “caste” .
The visit of Chief of Staff will force the senators to return to the senatorial chamber after long weeks without activity and with little attendance of all the blocks in the Upper House. The last session was on September 27, when legislators approved the law that expands the Genetic Data Registry, a project in tribute to the ARA San Juan, two lists of federal chamber members and the environmental emergency in Córdoba for 180 days.
Thursday: Clean Record and Absentee Trial
At the end of the week, on Thursday at 10 in the morning, the officialdom, he PRO and the UCR will seek to sanction next Thursday the bill that allows the trial in absentia in serious crimes against humanity for those accused who have fled or are not in the country, as is the case with the Iranians accused of the attack on the headquarters of the AMIA.

There the Freedom Advances and the dialogueists will insist on the debate of the draft Clean sheet, that prevents leaders convicted in the second instance from being candidates in national elections, a regulation that mainly targets former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
The ruling party, together with its allies, had tried to approve Clean File last Wednesday, but the session failed because they lacked one representative to reach a quorum of 129 legislators; Now the trial in absentia has been added to the agenda. The Clean File project must be approved by an aggravated majority of 129 votes in the Lower House and 37 in the Senate.

The majority opinion proposes as a minimum standard for the electoral disqualification the principle of double compliance, that is, the conviction in the second instance.
It covers the criminal offenses of bribery and influence peddling, embezzlement of public funds, negotiations incompatible with the exercise of public functions, illegal exactions, illicit enrichment of officials and employees, concealment and fraud to the detriment of the public administration.
