Santilli Begins Governor Outreach After Resigning Seat as AFA Signals It Will Set San Lorenzo’s Next Steps

Governors offer cautious support contingent on seeing the final texts for the 2026 budget plus labor and tax changes.

Overview

  • Diego Santilli formally resigned his national deputy seat and opened bilateral meetings with governors Ignacio Torres (Chubut) and Raúl Jalil (Catamarca) at the Casa Rosada.
  • Both governors voiced openness to the government’s agenda but conditioned support on reviewing the detailed language of Budget 2026 and the proposed labor overhaul.
  • The Executive is preparing to summon extraordinary congressional sessions in December after the legislative renewal, with a possible extension into January and February if required.
  • Following a second failed summit with San Lorenzo representatives, the AFA said it will determine next steps under its statutes and gave Sergio Costantino an early‑week deadline to present financial guarantees for a caretaker plan.
  • Club president Marcelo Moretti maintained he will not resign, and San Lorenzo drew 0–0 at Rosario Central to secure a place in the Clausura playoffs.
