Milei Reinstates Interior Ministry, Forms Mesa Federal as Governors Warn Over ATN Veto

Veto deadlines this week plus Monday’s budget address leave a narrow window that the governors’ summit in Río Cuarto will test.

Overview

  • Javier Milei restored the Interior Ministry and named Lisandro Catalán as minister, presenting him as the new interlocutor with provinces.
  • The Government set up a Mesa Federal with Milei, Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos, Economy Minister Luis Caputo and Catalán to reengage governors.
  • Officials say the Executive plans to veto the ATN redistribution law and also the university financing and Garrahan emergency bills, with veto windows closing Thursday and Friday.
  • Governors across party lines remain skeptical and condition any dialogue on concrete gestures, chiefly that the President not veto the ATN measure.
  • Provincias Unidas will hold a joint meeting in Río Cuarto on Friday, while Milei readies a cadena nacional on Monday to present the 2026 Budget after a week of intensified cabinet activity and no formal invitations to governors yet.
