bottom line,,,, to answer the OP ,,, yes it sort* of is a new thing,,, this year it started dec 30 and ends march 16,,,

*i may be wrong but i think that years ago they also might have had it

Argentina has observed daylight savings in past years (regularly until 1972). Since then it has been sporadic, and province dependent.

Standard time in Argentina used to be UTC-4, but is now at UTC-3, with daylight savings taking the country to UTC-2. That is except in San Luis Province, which announced last week than from Monday (January 20) they would revert back to standard time (UTC-3).
