Overview
- Diego Santilli launched his outreach in Entre Ríos with Governor Rogelio Frigerio, who signaled willingness to back reforms while pressing for resumed works, pension support, tariff updates and access to credit.
- Santilli scheduled meetings with Salta’s Gustavo Sáenz and Tucumán’s Osvaldo Jaldo in the Casa Rosada on Thursday, followed by visits to Mendoza’s Alfredo Cornejo on Friday and Neuquén’s Rolando Figueroa on Saturday.
- The push seeks provincial backing for a fiscally balanced 2026 Budget and for labor, tax and Penal Code changes the government intends to send to extraordinary sessions from December 10.
- Santilli said he will not meet Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof because he did not sign the Pacto de Mayo, while Kicillof criticized his exclusion and argued it leaves out a large share of the population.
- The congressional landscape remains fluid as the PRO confirmed it will act as an independent bloc led by Cristian Ritondo and Santa Fe’s Gisela Scaglia said she will sit with Provincias Unidas, while governors emphasize financing assurances and budget predictability.
