Milei Vetoes University and Garrahan Laws, Sets Up Federal Talks as ATN Veto Looms

The shift centers on a deficit-first strategy alongside outreach via a Mesa Federal led by Lisandro Catalán with Luis Caputo participating.

Overview

  • President Javier Milei signed vetoes of the university financing law and the pediatric emergency funding for Hospital Garrahan, returning both to Congress.
  • The administration is preparing a full veto of the automatic redistribution of ATN funds pushed by all 24 provincial leaders, with the deadline falling on Friday.
  • The government reinstated the Interior Ministry, promoted Lisandro Catalán to lead it, and launched a Mesa Federal that brings Economy Minister Luis Caputo into provincial negotiations.
  • Caputo began one-on-one talks and sealed debt-compensation and project-transfer agreements with Chubut and Tucumán, even as broader consensus remains elusive.
  • Governors grouped in Provincias Unidas declined the invitation to the new forum and will meet in Río Cuarto, while Congress weighs insistence votes and sector leaders warn of protests ahead of Monday’s 2026 budget presentation.
