Overview
- In La Plata, the Budget Committee issued majority and minority reports on the 2026 spending plan and tax bill, but postponed the financing debate to Nov. 25 for further negotiation.
- The Buenos Aires package seeks $3.865 billion in financing, channels 92.6% of outlays to current spending, creates a 900 billion‑peso recovery fund, and meets opposition demands over court vacancies and a fixed discretionary fund for mayors.
- Mendoza’s lower house passed the budget with broad support, and the Senate convened to pursue two‑thirds backing for new credit, roll‑over of roughly $350–354 billion, and transport works including 240,000 million for roads, 140,000 million for the Metrotranvía, and 100,000 million for the Tren de Cercanías.
- With 19 of 38 seats, Cambia Mendoza seeks votes from La Unión Mendocina and non‑Kirchnerist Peronists to reach the 25 needed for special items, as some senators remain undecided or could abstain.
- Even with legislative approval, Buenos Aires would require national authorization for certain borrowing, with relations to Interior Minister Diego Santilli reported as strained.
