Argentina's Senate is heading into the final stage of the 2026 Budget debate and the Fiscal Innocence Law. With more than 45 senators backing it, overall approval appears secure, but Article 30, which removes rules for educational and scientific funding, sparks controversy. Objections come from the Civic Union and temporary government allies, creating a last‑minute negotiation scenario. If the Senate amends the lower house‑approved text, the project will return to the lower chamber, with additional sessions planned in December and January. The ultimate goal is to approve the 2026 Budget without setbacks, but uncertainty around Article 30 and a potential lack of voters could alter the outcome.
