The Argentine government is set to convene a session of the deputies on Thursday to deliberate two significant legislative proposals: juvenile criminal reform and the European Union-Mercosur agreement. The session is led by Gabriel Bornoroni, the head of the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) bloc, which indicates that they aim to push both proposals through the legislative process this week. This session's timing is crucial, as it coincides with the ongoing formation of committees responsible for reviewing these proposals, which are expected to be under the control of the ruling party.

The ruling government faces resistance from the opposition, particularly from the Kirchnerism faction, which has labeled the expedited procedure for discussing these proposals as problematic. Despite this opposition, the government is optimistic about garnering the necessary support to pass both measures. The commitment to move forward reflects the government's strategic focus on reforms to address pressing issues within the juvenile justice system and to strengthen ties with the European Union through the Mercosur agreement.

With the backing of the LLA and potential negotiations with other allies, the success of these legislative initiatives could have significant implications for Argentina's social policy and international relations. This session is seen as a pivotal moment not only for the legislative agenda but also for the stability of the government's coalition, as it navigates through dissent and attempts to push its reformist agenda.
