The government announced on Apr. 4 plans to restart activities in the National Congress next week, aiming to shift attention away from recent controversies involving Manuel Adorni’s financial disclosures and the Libra case linked to the Milei brothers.
This move comes after a long holiday weekend, with officials seeking to regain political momentum. The strategy involves holding two consecutive sessions between Wednesday and Thursday. In the Chamber of Deputies, priority will be given to debating proposed reforms of the Glacier Law, while in the Senate, focus will turn to reviewing nominations for 60 judicial and prosecutorial vacancies—an effort seen as strengthening ties with members of the judiciary.
On Tuesday, a joint committee meeting in the lower house is scheduled where governors from the Copper Table are expected to speak. The ruling party aims to conclude consultations that same day and issue a report so that debate can proceed on Wednesday. However, opposition lawmakers are preparing complaints about public hearings, arguing that only 400 out of 100,000 registered participants were able to speak regarding natural resource management in sensitive areas.
In the Senate, urgency surrounds filling some of nearly 300 open judicial positions. Among those nominated are Emilio Rosatti—the son of Supreme Court President—and MarÃa Julia Sosa—a secretary from Judge Julián Ercolini’s court—both names attracting scrutiny due to their connections within Argentina’s legal system.
Despite efforts by officials to project an image of legislative normalcy, parliamentary discussions remain overshadowed by ongoing questions about Cabinet Chief Adorni’s finances and developments in the Libra case—issues that continue drawing public interest.
