Overview
- Security Minister and senator-elect Patricia Bullrich confirmed she will meet Vice President Victoria Villarruel on Friday to rebuild relations after months of distance.
- Bullrich said the Senate’s parliamentary secretary, Agustín Giustinian, contacted her at Villarruel’s request to arrange the meeting.
- The agenda includes defining the calendar for December extraordinary sessions to try to advance the 2026 Budget, a so‑called “inocencia fiscal” bill to draw undeclared dollars into the system, and a labor reform the government aims to introduce through the Senate.
- Bullrich convened La Libertad Avanza senators to set strategy and is courting other blocs to reach the 37‑senator quorum, as the LLA will hold 20 seats and needs at least 17 more votes.
- Publicly urging Villarruel not to “boicotear” the government’s agenda, Bullrich’s team and other officials accuse the vice president of having stalled Senate efforts, while arguing that passing priority bills would bolster economic credibility.
