Legislators return to the enclosure to vote the electoral reform of the Government. There are also changes in the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure.
In the first 48 hours of the extraordinary sessionsthe Government managed to dictate the project of SUSPENSION OF THE STEP by the 2025 electoral cycle and raise it to the Chamber of Deputies, that could give half a sanction to that initiative and to security and justice reforms presented by the Executive Power: Changes in reiterative, recidivism and condemnation; and the Judgment regime for absence.
The session would begin at 12, after the parliamentary work meeting. The scenario for the ruling is optimistic. Not only would it count on the backs of the MID, the PRO, Federal Innovation, the Civic Coalition and broad sectors of the UCR and Federal Meetingbut also once again it would be seen in the Congress The influence of provincial governors: Santiago and Catamarque deputies that make up the block of Union for the Homeland They will raise their hands for the libertarian government.
“What are we going to tell them?” Was the response of a Peronist to this medium, who pointed greater responers to legislators who respond to Raúl Jalilspeculating that they can have a destination similar to those of Osvaldo Jaldo, who broke the bench in a month to establish Independence. Despite the majority rejection of Union for the Homelandtogether with others from Democracy forever and the Left FrontThe Government would exceed the 140 votes of the necessary 129.
More overwhelming would be the approval of the security projects and the trial regime in absencewhich has unanimous support of all the blocks less than Peronism and the left. The only condition that would avoid the average sanction would be that there is no quorum in the beginning of the treatment of these proposals. Given that the session will last for at least 15 hours, it is speculated with the transception of some deputies, which would displace the vote of these initiatives for next week, when the Clean card sessionanother of the electoral reform projects that managed to dictate La Libertad advancesin addition to having sanctioned in 2024 the Unique paper ballot.

Session in deputies: what each project is about
Although there are consensus to approve the SUSPENSION OF THE STEPthere are still uncertainty of the other points that make up the “Electoral Strengthening Law”which limits the gratuity of the proselytizing propaganda, exponentially increases the contribution that private ones can make (of a limit of 2% of the total electoral funds, passes to 35%) and hinders the conditions to become a national party.
As for security projects, it seeks to reform the Criminal Code in its article 50 to aggravate in a third the Condemn for repeat offenders (“Any person who has been sentenced two or more times to a deprivation of liberty”). Article 55 is also replaced for unify condemnationsindicating that “the penalty applicable to the inmate will have at least the minimum and at most, the arithmetic sum of the maximum penalties corresponding to the various facts.”
As for the criminal reiterance (Transgressive conduct of the law in which there was no condemnation), it would begin to be considered as an argument to determine the preventive detention during an investigation (it modifies article 218 of the Criminal Procedure Code). Within that framework, figures are established that They expand the conditions for preventive detention: Presumption of danger of escape, obstacle to criminal investigation and reiterative.
Finally, the judgment in absence It modifies the criminal procedural legislation to allow the continuity and culmination of the criminal process even if the absence of the accused is given in some crimes. Within that framework, authorization would be completed whenor a judge declares rebellion of the accused for not appearing before the court, for absenting at your home without justification or for having escaped its place of detention, in case of certain crimes considered serious.
