Milei Gathers 20 Governors and Full Cabinet at Casa Rosada for Reform Talks

The government seeks provincial buy‑in for the 2026 budget plus labor and tax changes through a high‑level dialogue.

Overview

  • The meeting is underway at the presidential palace with 20 provincial leaders and the entire national Cabinet in attendance.
  • The agenda centers on the 2026 budget alongside proposed labor and tax overhauls.
  • Officials said all governors who received invitations accepted, while four Peronist leaders — Axel Kicillof, Gildo Insfrán, Ricardo Quintela and Gustavo Melella — were excluded.
  • Patagonian governors pressed for the removal of export taxes on conventional crude oil, with industry and union representatives taking part in those discussions.
