Milei’s Team Courts Governors as Santilli Steps In to Secure Budget and Reforms

The push is designed to secure a working majority for December’s extraordinary session.

Overview

  • Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni and Interior Minister Diego Santilli will meet Monday with Córdoba’s Martín Llaryora and San Juan’s Marcelo Orrego in the next round of bilateral talks.
  • The outreach began Friday with Ignacio Torres (Chubut) and Raúl Jalil (Catamarca), who asked to see draft texts as the Executive pledged to honor existing provincial agreements.
  • Casa Rosada plans a broader summit with roughly 20 governors once the one‑on‑one meetings conclude to align support for the 2026 Budget and labor, tax and penal reforms.
  • Santilli’s formal swearing‑in is being arranged for this week as he centralizes federal negotiations and prepares additional contacts with governors.
  • La Libertad Avanza is working to expand its deputy bloc toward about 100 seats for committee control, while Unión por la Patria is postponing a split until at least March and the Buenos Aires PJ weighs a February vote as Máximo Kirchner’s term ends December 18.
