Government Reconvenes Consejo de Mayo to Rally Support Before Key Congressional Tests

The Casa Rosada convenes the forum to shore up votes before a difficult week in Congress.

Overview

  • Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos chaired the session at the Casa Rosada with attendees including Federico Sturzenegger, Mendoza governor Alfredo Cornejo, senator Carolina Losada, deputy Cristian Ritondo, UOCRA’s Gerardo Martínez and UIA president Martín Rappallini.
  • The government sought backing for labor and tax overhauls as lawmakers prepare decisions on DNU oversight, the ATN veto, vetoes on pediatric emergency care and university budgets, plus actions involving Francos and Karina Milei.
  • President Javier Milei did not attend the meeting and planned campaign travel to Tierra del Fuego later today.
  • Cornejo met earlier with Chubut governor Ignacio Torres to advance a planned U.S. criminal complaint over the Eskenazi family’s entry into YPF, signaling parallel pressure outside the legislative arena.
  • Local reporting cites financial backing from Milei’s U.S. trip, with BAE Negocios putting it at $20 billion from the U.S. Treasury, a claim not independently confirmed in the provided coverage.
