Hi,
back here after 12+ years for a heads up...
There is a Law proposal approved by the Cámara de Diputados
(equivalent of the House) but yet to be approved in the Senate
regarding Argentina's timezone.
Argentina is currently in UTC-3 with no DST. The proposal
establishes the Official Time for the whole country as UTC-4 (which
is geographically more accurate), with a DST of UTC-3.
The DST would start at 00:00 on the first April Sunday and would end
at 00:00 on the first September Sunday.
The Executive is authorized to modify these dates and to coordinate
with other countries of MERCOSUR to apply changes on the same
moment.
This is just a heads up, since the Senate did not approve or modify
the proposal.
If this is approved and enacted before April 2026, we can assume the
current status is DST and at 00:00 Sunday April 5th 2026 we would be
moving the clock back to 23:00 Saturday April 4th.
I'll keep you posted as this evolves, but don't hold your breath
since on October 26th there are Legislative Elections (midterm), and
half of the House and one third of the Senate will change. The new
legislators will take office on December 10th. By the end of
December the ordinary session of Congress ends; it may be extended
by the Executive Branch, but there is no certainty
about which bills can be discussed.
