Overview
- President Javier Milei formally rejected the law to redistribute Aportes del Tesoro Nacional, with officials asserting the funds are reserved for emergencies under coparticipation rules.
- Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán said the administration is evaluating loan options for provincial governments as an alternative source of support.
- Santa Cruz governor Claudio Vidal condemned the decision and accused the presidency of disrespect, likening Milei’s posture to policies associated with the Kirchners.
- The government opened federal dialogue tables, meeting with Leandro Zdero, Alfredo Cornejo and Rogelio Frigerio, while Catalán also engaged Osvaldo Jaldo and Gustavo Sáenz.
- The ruling bloc faces a credible risk of missing the one-third threshold in both chambers to uphold the veto, with the Senate expected to take up the issue next.
