Bottom Line Up Front
Today’s verdict: Chile’s Kast tax “megareforma” faces its decisive final Senate vote today — but even if it passes, presidential vetoes and a Constitutional Court challenge still stand between it and law — while Argentina’s Monotributo deadline hits tomorrow and Colombia’s incoming cabinet is now complete three days before the Cali handover.
Chile’s reform. The last article goes to a Senate vote today, needing 26 votes; passage still would not make it law, with two presidential vetoes and a Constitutional Court challenge to eight articles pending.
Argentina deadline. The Monotributo recategorisation closes tomorrow, Wednesday, August 5 — the last day to act in the ARCA portal.
Colombia cabinet. De la Espriella has completed an 18-member, gender-balanced cabinet ahead of Friday’s inauguration in a locked-down Cali.
