The Senate and Chamber of Deputies in Uruguay approved different versions of Article 65, and failed to reconcile them. This procedural error means the original budget proposal could be enacted by decree. The approved versions differed on health provisions and debt payment reductions. Consequently, the initial project—without the changes made in health or debt payments—would take effect. This situation raises concerns about the legislative process and potential executive overreach regarding the 2027 budget in Uruguay. The issue was reported by *La Silla Vacía*.
