The ruling coalition is today set to secure a majority opinion for the 2026 National Budget Bill in the Budget Committee, although its goal is to debate the initiative in extraordinary sessions. The ruling coalition's opinion gathered 20 signatures, while the 'Union for the Homeland' (Unión por la Patria) opinion also had the same number. However, due to the tie, the committee's president, Alberto 'Bertie' Benegas Lynch, holds a double vote. 'Federal Encounter' (Encuentro Federal), led by Miguel Pichetto, presented its own opinion with six signatures, while the left presented another in absolute rejection of the official initiative.
