The bloc of PRO deputies has denounced a 'serious violation of the National Constitution' following the designation of authorities for the Audit General of the Nation (AGN) outside the agenda of extraordinary sessions and announced it will initiate legal actions. According to a statement obtained by the Argentine News Agency, the event occurred in the early hours of the morning when the ruling coalition proceeded with the designation despite the issue not being part of the call issued by the Executive Branch. The PRO deputies stated that their objection was first raised informally, then in the chamber, and finally when the designation was attempted, a situation recorded in the Session Journal. They affirmed that proceeding with the designation outside the agenda 'does not strengthen state control, it delegitimizes it.' The PRO deputies rejected the designation, considering it 'void of all nullity for constitutional incompetence,' and announced they will promote legal actions to restore legality and institutional respect. They also expressed their displeasure with the ruling coalition's conduct, noting that their bloc had supported the Government in difficult times, believing a profound change in Argentina was necessary. They recalled that Article 63 of the National Constitution establishes that during extraordinary sessions, Congress can only address issues included in the call. The bloc emphasized that the Audit General of the Nation is a constitutional control body and its composition is not an internal administrative matter of Congress. Finally, they stated that institutions cannot function based on the force of a circumstantial majority and that the change demanded by millions of Argentines must be carried out 'with the Constitution in hand'.
