Alliance Between LLA and Cambia Mendoza Falters After Veto Rebukes

Mendoza deputies’ opposition votes alongside a delayed provincial budget signal shrinking congressional room for President Milei.

Overview

  • Deputies Pamela Verasay and Lisandro Nieri voted to overturn presidential vetoes on university funding and a pediatric emergency measure.
  • Governor Alfredo Cornejo confronted Chamber of Deputies President Martín Menem over miscounted support and the transmission of flawed information to the president.
  • National officials sought select governors to soften the anti‑veto tally, and Cornejo, Rogelio Frigerio and Leandro Zdero were among the few who accepted a photo with the administration after its Buenos Aires setback.
  • Mendoza completed its 2026 budget but postponed sending it to the Legislature to wait for clearer national figures.
  • Commentators and local actors now see the LLA–Cambia Mendoza pact as likely to lapse after the October 26 election as the national government’s political standing weakens.
