Milei’s Inner Circle Gathers to Lock Strategy for Senate Push on Labor Overhaul

Governors’ demands over revenue losses from income‑tax changes are driving talks.

Overview

  • Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni convened the political table for 10 a.m. at the Casa Rosada, with Patricia Bullrich, Martín Menem, Eduardo “Lule” Menem, Interior Minister Diego Santilli, adviser Santiago Caputo and Economy Minister Luis Caputo slated to attend.
  • The administration is targeting extraordinary Senate sessions around February 10–11 to seek passage, and the bill already holds a majority committee report as Bullrich leads a consultative team to fine‑tune the text.
  • Santilli intensified outreach to governors, meeting Alfredo Cornejo in Mendoza and Marcelo Orrego in San Juan, while a planned sit‑down with La Pampa’s Sergio Ziliotto was postponed to be rescheduled.
  • As bargaining chips, the government confirmed key infrastructure moves — including a February licitation for Route 7 and resuming works on Route 40 — and is weighing compensations or separating the tax chapter to secure provincial backing.
  • Provincial leaders warn that proposed cuts to Income Tax rates could trim coparticipable revenue by more than ARS 8 billion a year, and the CGT is organizing meetings and potential mobilizations, including a possible general strike, to dilute or block the bill.
