Santilli Launches Governor Tour to Lock Senate Votes for Labor Reform in February

Provincial warnings over coparticipation losses are now central to the bill’s path in the Senate.

Overview

  • Interior Minister Diego Santilli begins a roughly 10-province swing on January 7 in Chubut to secure support, with the Senate debate tentatively eyed for around February 10.
  • Governors are pressing over projected revenue hits from corporate income tax cuts, with IARAF estimating a 0.22% of GDP annual cost (about 1.9 trillion pesos) and around 1.12 trillion falling on provinces and CABA.
  • Entre Ríos lawmakers formally sought a meeting with Governor Rogelio Frigerio after estimating provincial and municipal losses of about 81,265 million pesos this year under the draft.
  • The CGT plans a national strike on the day of the Senate debate and signals it will challenge the law in court, even as it intensifies private outreach to shape the text.
  • The government says it will consider changes without losing the “modernization” thrust, sets a mid-January technical review window, rules out reopening a formal table with the CGT, and faces questions over the 3% employer-financed Labor Assistance Fund.
