  • In a nationwide address presenting the 2026 budget, Javier Milei declared “lo peor ya pasó” and adopted a noticeably softer tone.
  • Opposition deputies and senators prepare sessions to overturn vetoes on university funding and the Garrahan law after already reversing the disability measure.
  • Congressional leaders advance proposals to make decrees of necessity and urgency harder to issue and sustain, raising a test of executive authority.
