Santilli Courts Governors as Chaco Backs Milei’s Labor Reform Push

Equal Senate seats for each province make these deals pivotal for a vote targeted for the second week of February.

Overview

  • After a meeting in Resistencia, Governor Leandro Zdero pledged to support the labor bill the government aims to bring to the Senate around 11 February.
  • The Interior Minister scheduled talks with La Pampa’s Sergio Ziliotto at Casa Rosada and will visit Mendoza’s Alfredo Cornejo, who plans to demand the resumption of stalled national road works.
  • The outreach relies on fiscal incentives including ATN advances, higher funding for provincial pension regimes and specific public-works commitments, with Chaco receiving sizable transfers and advances.
  • Córdoba’s Martín Llaryora and Santa Fe’s Maximiliano Pullaro remain noncommittal as they press for unpaid pension transfers and halted infrastructure, leaving their congressional backing uncertain.
  • The strategy builds on a late‑2025 Budget passed 46–25 through governor negotiations, even as Congress later overrode the president’s veto to restore pension and disability emergencies and increase university funding.
