Minister of Security and elected senator for La Libertad Avanza (LLA), Patricia Bullrich, met today with libertarian legislators and announced that the debate on labor reform will begin in December within the framework of extraordinary sessions.
Although the central priority of the first extraordinary session will be the 2026 Budget and the fiscal innocence bill, Bullrich highlighted the importance of beginning to discuss labor reform.
The future head of the ruling party's bloc held a meeting today with incumbent and incoming libertarian senators, who will take office on December 10, where she provided details of the labor reform promoted by the Government.
Bullrich said on social network X that "we have gathered the bloc. This is one of the main problems. One of the topics discussed was the work and budget schedule, which will have to be debated in the Chamber of Deputies and it is expected that this initiative will be approved between December 11 and 12."
In this context, the Senate will have to wait until Monday, December 15, for the budget's half-sanction to arrive, so the idea is that while the expenditure and revenue law progresses, the debate on labor reform can begin.
As the Senate takes two weeks between the committee discussion and the debate in the session room, the options are to table it on December 22 or, failing that, on December 29 and 30.
Another bill the Government seeks to pass is the Fiscal Innocence Law, which aims to allow people to launder dollars that have not entered the system.
At the meeting Bullrich held with senators, the reform of the Penal Code was also discussed, where it is expected to incorporate all approved laws such as the anti-mafia law and the ruling on imputability, although it is estimated that this debate will take much longer.
The Government will call for extraordinary sessions in December and then after January 18, where it will seek to pass labor and tax reforms and advance with changes to the Penal Code.
The meeting with Bullrich, held in the Senate annex, was attended by elected Senators Agustín Coto, María Emilia Orozco, and Bartolomé Abdala, among others.
