President Javier Milei issued a decree ordering Congress to carry out extraordinary sessions during February, a month in which the parliament is normally on summer break. The extraordinary sessions will extend from February 2 until the 27th, finishing one day before the official reopening of Congress and the start of the ordinary period, on March 1. Milei already had Congress carry out extraordinary sessions during the last three weeks of December, right after the ordinary period ended at the end of November. Milei has called for extraordinary Congress sessions every summer since he took office to debate controversial issues. 2026 summer sessions agenda2026 will be no exception, as Milei — once again — has filed controversial bills for debate during the extraordinary sessions period.
