- Patricia Bullrich confirmed that negotiations have begun and that the labor bill will enter through the Senate, with reports indicating the final text will be unveiled next week.
- Casa Rosada envoys Manuel Adorni and Diego Santilli are courting governors for votes; Buenos Aires City’s Jorge Macri conditioned support for the Budget on explicit inclusion of coparticipation payments.
- The draft labor package crafted by teams led by Federico Sturzenegger and Luis Caputo includes a bank of hours, a narrowed vacation window, a revised severance formula, and exclusions from the Labor Contract Law for several categories.
