Fixed date public holidays in Argentina fall into 2 categories. Feriados inamovibles (those that do not move; the majority) which are covered by law 21.329, except for Immaculate Conception which is governed by law 24.445. Feriados trasladables (those that do move depending on the day of the week when they occur) which are covered by laws 23.555 and 24.445. • Malvinas Day: Perhaps because of its highly emotional affect, this public holiday has been tinkered with repeatedly by the Argentine legislature. It was originally decreed for April 2 by the de facto Law 22769. Then, Decree 901 of March 23, 1984, transferred it to June 10. It was then moved back to April 2, subject to changes depending on the weekday upon which it occurred. Then, finally, Law 25.370 was amended in June 2006, to make Malvinas Day (officially called "Día del veterano y los caídos en la Guerra de Malvinas") one of the non-moveable public holidays, regardless of the weekday on which it occurs . • Flag Day and General San Martín Holiday: A bill was introduced in 1996 to make these 2 public holidays remain on their respective dates (June 20 and August 17), but it never came into law. • Carnival Monday and Tuesday were declared public holidays by the decree 2.446 of 1956. Subsequent military governments increasingly tried to restrain its observance until 1976, when the last military junta passed law 21.329 which prohibits the celebration of Carnival. The 2 days of Carnival were retored as nationwide public holidays by the "Decreto 1584/2010 - Establécense Feriados Nacionales y días no laborables" of November 2010. • Día del Trabajador Bancario (Day Of The Bank Employee) commemorates the 1924 founding of the Asociación Bancaria and is observed every year on November 6. On that day, all banks in the Buenos Aires metro area (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires) are closed, as well as the Argentine Central Bank and all financial markets nationwide. • By law, those who belong to the Jewish or the Islamic faith, are entitled to additional public holidays off: Islamic New Year, Eid al Fitr, and Eid al Adha, for Muslims, and the first and last days of Passover, and Yom Kippur for Jews (laws 24.571, 24.757, and 26.089). • Día del Petróleo Nacional: According to the Ley Provincial 2258, voted by the Chubut provincial legislature on January 24, 1984, the 13th of December is a provincial compulsory public holiday (descanso obligatorio) for all civil servants and workers of the banking and financial sectors. Its observance is optional for private sector workers. There is a bill pending that would make the holiday a national one . • Argentina International Codes AR and ARG (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .ar (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Argentina information and news: Central Bank of Argentina (Argentina central bank), UnitedHealthcare Global (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Argentina maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Argentina), and Wikipedia (includes Argentina commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).
