Milei Gathers Governors to Seek Support for 2026 Budget and Second-Stage Reforms

The push targets provincial backing before a more favorable Congress takes office in December.

Overview

  • President Javier Milei hosts roughly 17–20 governors at the Casa Rosada this afternoon, joined by Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos, Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán.
  • The agenda centers on securing commitments for the 2026 national budget and advancing labor, tax and pension overhauls slated for debate with the new congressional lineup from December 10.
  • Reports list a broad cross‑party attendance, with Mendoza and Neuquén sending vicegubernatorial representation, and note that Buenos Aires, La Rioja, Tierra del Fuego and Formosa were not invited.
  • Provincial leaders plan to raise transfers, revenue‑sharing and funding for deficit‑running provincial pension systems, and Caputo’s presence signals that fiscal terms will be part of the talks.
  • Milei is scheduled to meet Mauricio Macri in Olivos on Friday, as the PRO leader says the party will run a 2027 presidential candidate while prioritizing support for the government’s reforms.
