On September 9, the Argentine Chamber of Deputies established a legislative roadmap for two sensitive issues: the extension of the disability emergency and relief for family debt and delinquency. Following a high-tension session where opposition blocs—including Unión por la Patria, Frente de Izquierda, and Encuentro Federal—secured a quorum of approximately 130 to 135 legislators, the ruling La Libertad Avanza party participated to avoid a total political defeat. The session resulted in the approval of work schedules for both topics. Regarding the disability emergency, which expires in December 2026, the schedule includes an informative meeting on September 16 and a formal report due by September 23. These legislative moves occur amid social tension, with demonstrators in Corrientes and Buenos Aires protesting insufficient funding for disability services and the rising cost of living. For family debt and delinquency, affecting approximately 6 million people, committees for Finance and Consumer Defense will hold informative meetings on September 15 and 22. The goal is to issue committee reports by September 29 or 30. The debate involves roughly 50 projects aimed at providing relief through mechanisms such as interest relief, debt refinancing, and stricter regulations on collection practices and fintech interest rates. While the opposition views the established schedule as a victory for social pressure, the officialist bloc maintains that any resulting measures “must not incur new fiscal costs.” Following the session, Karina Milei, Secretary General of the Presidency, visited Congress to meet with La Libertad Avanza legislators. On September 11, legislator Bernardo Biella, a signatory of the disability emergency extension project, stated that the legislative move forces the ruling administration to address these social issues directly.
