Patricia Bullrich swore in as a national senator for La Libertad Avanza in Argentina's Congress on Friday, bidding farewell to her role at the Ministry of Security. During the ceremony, she clashed with Vice President Victoria Villarruel and announced plans to investigate the transparency of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) from the Senate. The event featured incidents like a dispute over a seat for Karina Milei.
The Budget and Finance Committee in the Chamber of Deputies ratified Alberto 'Bertie' Benegas Lynch as president, as La Libertad Avanza speeds up the 2026 Budget process. The ruling party aims to issue the report on Tuesday and bring it to the floor on Wednesday, despite opposition demands for financial compensations. Negotiations persist amid tensions between allied blocs and the opposition.

Following delays due to President Milei's travel and CGT talks, Argentina's ruling party has called a key Senate Labor Commission meeting for Dec. 17, aiming for half-sanction before year-end amid ongoing opposition.
President Javier Milei led the closing rally for La Libertad Avanza in Rosario, Santa Fe, urging votes to defend his government's achievements and criticizing the opposition as a 'destituent Congress'. Accompanied by his Cabinet and candidates, he stressed the need to reshape Congress for reforms. The event took place in Plaza España, ending the campaign before the October 26 legislative elections.
