Milei Government Moves to Patch Coalition Rift Over Disability Cuts

Revising the Disability chapter is intended to placate allies and secure a temporary truce with governors needed to pass five priority laws.

Overview

  • A public split opened this week when Senate bloc leader Patricia Bullrich complained she was not consulted about changes to the Discapacidad chapter of the 2027 budget, forcing the Casa Rosada to acknowledge coordination failures.
  • The government has begun redrafting the Disability chapter and told its legislators to lower public confrontations while negotiators intensify talks with provincial governors and allied blocs to win support.
  • Casa Rosada is pursuing a time‑limited truce with governors through December to focus on passing five priority bills: the 2027 budget, a Malvinas sovereignty law, a super‑RIGI investment regime, reform of the Banco Central charter, and suspension of the PASO primary system.
  • Senate votes remain uncertain because many allied and provincial senators are divided over key measures such as Zonas Frías subsidy cuts and the new BCRA Carta Orgánica, which raises questions about reserve custody and director appointment rules.
  • Large street mobilizations led by Myriam Bregman and others have called for a national strike and promised further protests during the Budget debate, increasing pressure on legislators and raising the political stakes ahead of 2027.
