Santilli Leads Provincial Push for 2026 Reforms, Targets Year-End Budget Approval

The interior minister says the ruling bloc is near quorum to push a 2026 package through Congress.

Overview

  • Diego Santilli said Congress is “very balanced” and that the government is “very close to quorum” to advance its reform program.
  • He detailed talks with governors and reported a broad “spirit of reform,” citing priorities that include labor modernization, tax reductions, a new Penal Code and passage of the 2026 Budget before year-end.
  • Santilli called the tax burden “asphyxiating” and argued that durable relief must be implemented simultaneously at national, provincial and municipal levels.
  • He projected 5–6% GDP growth in 2026 if the agenda advances, linking that scenario to higher wages and lower inflation.
  • Opinion and analysis pieces urge approval of the 2026 Budget and coordinated reforms to anchor stabilization, noting the need to align national and provincial measures and to refine the monetary and exchange framework.
