Overview
- Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni reconvened the presidential ‘mesa política’ for January 16 to coordinate vote gathering and floor strategy for the reform.
- A Senate technical team led by labor lawyer Josefina Tajes will start mid-January to craft a modified draft, targeting committee debates on January 26 and a session in early February.
- Senator Patricia Bullrich, leading talks, courted business leaders in Mar del Plata and said the bloc will accept changes that still deliver reform, inviting the CGT to bring concrete proposals.
- Interior Minister Diego Santilli launched a provincial tour—beginning in Chubut and continuing to Chaco and Mendoza—to win governors’ backing as the ruling bloc sits at 21 senators and needs 37 for quorum.
- The severance fund (FAL) and the tax chapter remain the main flashpoints, with unions and governors warning of hits to health, pensions and coparticipation, while some relief measures could be activated later at the Economy Ministry’s discretion based on fiscal goals.
