Two motions received 133 votes, above the 129 needed for quorum but short of the threshold required to set aside the rules. Opposition blocs want to debate the disability emergency and household debt, although they must still secure actual attendance.
Buenos Aires
The former footballer, once considered a possible mayoral candidate for 2027, left La Libertad Avanza after months of conflict with Mayor Marcelo Matzkin.

San Juan
The provincial government is preparing an infrastructure bond and may combine international and Argentine investors.

The package received final approval and now only awaits publication. Boca Juniors, Sportivo Barracas, two foundations, the Archbishopric and a recreation centre obtained precarious, free-use permits, several lasting twenty years.
