Overview
- Interior Minister Diego Santilli hosts Chaco’s Leandro Zdero and Río Negro’s Alberto Weretilneck at the Casa Rosada to secure support for the 2026 Budget, with Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni joining.
- The outreach is a presidential directive and has covered 10 of the 20 governors who previously met Javier Milei, with plans to finish the initial round this week.
- The government’s roadmap targets a December Budget debate, a formal call to extraordinary sessions in late November, and labor reform discussions in Congress in February.
- Governors press for ATN redistribution, liquid fuels tax changes, ANSES debt payments to provincial pension funds and authorization for multilateral financing, yet no concrete resource commitments have been offered.
- Financing decisions are concentrated with Caputo and Treasury Secretary Carlos Guberman, who reaffirm non‑negotiables on social assistance, Security and Defense budgets and shrinking the State, including a fiscal surplus goal that will not be bargained.
