Argentina's Supreme Court declared a provision of a 2019 emergency decree unconstitutional, ruling that the government had failed to justify using emergency powers to amend a matter that the constitution reserves for Congress to decide.
The ruling touches on a long-running debate in Argentina over the executive branch's use of decrees to bypass the legislature. Legal experts described the decision as a significant step toward tighter judicial oversight of presidential decree powers.
The government has not yet issued an official response to the ruling. The decision could set a precedent for future legal challenges to similar emergency decrees.
