Overview
- With a target of early February, the government seeks roughly 16 more Senate votes after lining up 20 allies plus Luis Juez to reach quorum for debate.
- Patricia Bullrich delayed a floor vote, secured a majority committee report, and broadened hearings that included CGT leaders while signaling openness to limited amendments.
- Article 191’s corporate tax cut and the proposed Fondo de Asistencia Laboral requiring a 3% contribution on gross wages are the main sticking points for provinces and unions.
- An estimate circulated among governors projects about ARS 1.729 trillion in 2026 provincial revenue losses from the tax changes, intensifying resistance to the bill.
- Interior Minister Diego Santilli began a January tour in Chubut to tally support, with plans for about ten meetings with governors as Senate teams review objections in mid‑January and a chamber debate is slated for January 26.
