Government’s ATN Transfers Hit Record as Congress Prepares Budget and Labor Votes

The payouts are portrayed as leverage to secure congressional votes on Budget 2026 plus a labor overhaul.

Overview

  • In a 12‑day burst, $43,000 million in ATN was sent to Tucumán ($20,000m), Misiones ($12,000m) and Chaco ($11,000m), according to Politikon Chaco using official data.
  • Further transfers are already accrued for Catamarca ($10,500m), Entre Ríos ($7,000m) and Salta ($6,000m), with payment expected in the coming days.
  • December’s outlays already surpass the prior 2025 monthly peak in May ($21,000m) after November registered no ATN disbursements.
  • The acceleration coincided with Diego Santilli taking over the Interior Ministry, and he is now concentrating on the vote strategy for the budget, fiscal rules and labor changes.
  • A new statutory scheme for distributing ATN was passed, vetoed and later ratified in Congress, yet the Executive has not implemented it, preserving discretionary allocations under Law 23.548.
