Government Secures Chaco’s Backing for Labor Overhaul as Compensation Talks With Governors Intensify

Focus shifts to building a Senate majority before an early‑February debate through renewed coordination with provinces.

Overview

  • Interior Minister Diego Santilli won public support from Chaco governor Leandro Zdero during a provincial visit tied to the vote‑gathering tour.
  • Zdero’s alliance with La Libertad Avanza delivered two senators, Juan Cruz Godoy and Silvana Schneider, whom the government expects to count on in the Upper House.
  • The administration is negotiating compensation mechanisms to address provincial concerns over revenue losses from the bill’s fiscal chapter involving corporate income tax changes.
  • The government reactivated its political coordination and set a Friday meeting with top congressional figures as the Senate readies to take up the bill in the second week of February.
  • A planned meeting with La Pampa governor Sergio Ziliotto was postponed to Friday, and he has rejected the current proposal as a disguised tax reform that would cut provincial income.
