Santilli Agrees to Present First Senate Report on 25 November 2026

The negotiated date defused an opposition effort to force an earlier citation and prompted the Senate to open its formal process for collecting senators' questions before the hearing.

Overview

  • Diego Santilli confirmed he will appear before the Senate to give his first informe de gestión on 25 November 2026, a date reported and confirmed by multiple outlets.
  • Santilli reached the date in direct contact with Patricia Bullrich, a move that halted a planned opposition resolution to formally cite him for 18 November under Article 101.
  • Since taking office on 30 June 2026, Santilli had not yet presented a monthly report to either chamber of Congress, and the last jefe de Gabinete to appear before the Senate did so on 26 June 2025.
  • Senate president Bartolomé Abdala confirmed the 25 November scheduling and said the chamber has begun the administrative procedure for senators to submit written questions that Santilli must answer in advance.
  • The episode highlights a broader contest over Article 101 oversight, affects the late-November parliamentary calendar and could shape negotiations between the national government, opposition blocs and provincial governors on pending legislation and fiscal claims.
