Francos Denies Exit Rumors as Milei Gathers Governors to Advance Labor and Tax Overhaul

The summit seeks provincial backing for reforms that the government plans to draft after a mid-December report from the tripartite Council of May.

Overview

  • Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos dismissed talk of his removal as low-grade rumors and said he has no personal clash with presidential adviser Santiago Caputo.
  • Roughly 20 governors were confirmed for today’s Casa Rosada meeting, which the government framed as a dialogue with leaders open to shared solutions.
  • Sources close to Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof said he was not invited, reflecting the administration’s selective outreach to provincial leaders.
  • President Javier Milei will be joined by Francos, Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán to seek support for labor and tax reforms and the 2026 budget.
  • The administration aims to send reform bills to extraordinary congressional sessions early next year after receiving the Council of May’s mid-December recommendations, while press reports indicate any cabinet adjustments could be decided by December 10.
