Minister of the Interior Diego Santilli defended on Monday the appointments to the Auditoría General de la Nación (AGN) made by the Chamber of Deputies, which were criticized by his party, PRO. "It is clear that it is the prerogative of Congress, that is not something that the Executive Branch has to send, but it will be substantiated in the Justice," Santilli said in dialogue with 'Esta Mañana', the program by Ignacio Ortelli that is broadcast by Radio Rivadavia. In line with this, Santilli denied a rupture with the yellow party: "We have to keep working together, that is what society asked of us." National deputy and head of the PRO bloc, Cristian Ritondo, promoted an injunction against the Honorable Chamber of Deputies of the Nation to declare the unconstitutionality and nullity of resolution 7018-D-2025. The judicial measure aims to challenge the appointment of new general auditors to integrate the AGN, which took place in the early hours of last December 18. According to what the Argentine News Agency (NA) learned, the judicial presentation includes a request for an urgent precautionary measure so that the AGN abstains from accepting the appointments of Rita Mónica Almada, Juan Ignacio Forlón, and Cinthia Pamela Calletti. The result of the action was the outcome of an agreement between the La Libertad Avanza and Unión por la Patria blocs, a political space that has terminals in the figure of former President Cristina Kirchner. On the other hand, Santilli showed optimism regarding the eventual sanction of the 2026 Budget in the Senate: "The Government maintains the fiscal balance that led us to lower inflation and grow, and what is defined in the Senate is to have a Budget, which Argentina has not had for 3 years." "The goal is to have the entire package of measures that the President sent to Congress. We took a huge step, and that is how the media and the markets see it," added Santilli.
