Saenz Backs Milei’s Labor Reform as Santilli Courts Provincial Support

The government is weighing fiscal offsets to address governors’ concerns over revenue losses.

Overview

  • Interior Minister Diego Santilli met in Salta with Governor Gustavo Saenz, who signaled willingness to support the labor modernization bill and not obstruct its passage.
  • Officials say four governors now publicly back the initiative: Marcelo Orrego of San Juan, Leandro Zdero of Chaco, Alfredo Cornejo of Mendoza, and Gustavo Saenz of Salta.
  • The bill is slated for congressional debate in February as the administration seeks a broader coalition to advance its labor changes.
  • Casa Rosada is considering compensation mechanisms for provinces worried about the impact of proposed Income Tax scale changes on shared revenues, according to government sources and local reports.
  • Saenz used the meeting to press for national roadworks and other strategic infrastructure and called for a federal approach to support regional growth.
