Overview

  • Manuel Adorni and designated Interior minister Diego Santilli will meet Monday with Córdoba’s Martín Llaryora and San Juan’s Marcelo Orrego after opening talks Friday with Ignacio Torres (Chubut) and Raúl Jalil (Catamarca).
  • An expanded photo-op summit with roughly 20 governors is being prepared once the bilateral round ends to bolster support for Presupuesto 2026 and a package of labor, tax and penal changes.
  • Santilli is set to be sworn in on Tuesday, with the government targeting extraordinary congressional sessions from December 10 to 31 to seek approval of the Budget and the ‘second‑generation’ reforms.
  • Governors say the Executive pledged to honor prior commitments, but they want full draft texts; key bargaining items include ATN transfers, fuel‑tax revenue distribution and funding for non‑transferred provincial pension systems.
  • La Libertad Avanza is working to reach about 100 deputies by December—after recent incorporations it counts roughly 88—while Peronist leaders try to avoid a split in the lower house and the ruling circle formalizes a break with Vice President Victoria Villarruel.
