Milei Government Mobilizes Governors and Congress to Fast-Track 2026 Budget and Dollar Repatriation Bill

Officials aim to trade provincial concessions for votes in a December extraordinary session targeting a pre‑holiday Senate approval.

Overview

  • Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni said 20 governors are willing to collaborate as the administration rallies provincial support for its fiscal agenda.
  • Incoming Interior Minister Diego Santilli opened face‑to‑face talks, receiving the governors of Chubut and Catamarca and scheduling meetings Monday with San Juan, Salta and Córdoba, alongside plans for a federal tour.
  • The government will call extraordinary sessions to reissue a Budget committee report after the current one lapses on December 9, seeking quick passage in Deputies and a Senate vote before Christmas as La Libertad Avanza works to expand its bloc and secure committee control.
  • A separate “inocencia fiscal” bill will be pushed to let savers bring undeclared dollars into the system, aimed at strengthening Central Bank reserves and aligning with commitments to the IMF.
  • Governors are pressing for concrete transfers and guarantees, with Córdoba’s Martín Llaryora seeking higher ANSES funding for the provincial pension fund, redirected infrastructure resources and authorization to take on new debt.
