Overview
- Diego Santilli resigned his deputy seat and, alongside Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni, began one-on-one talks with governors on the 2026 budget and proposed labor, tax and penal reforms.
- Initial meetings were held with Chubut’s Ignacio Torres and Catamarca’s Raúl Jalil, with Córdoba’s Martín Llaryora, San Juan’s Marcelo Orrego and Salta’s Gustavo Sáenz scheduled in the coming days.
- The Presidency will convene a full Casa Rosada summit after the bilateral round to secure public commitments, with a reported goal of support from more than 16 governors.
- Debate is slated for extraordinary sessions starting December 10, and officials indicate the calendar could be extended, while judicial nominations are explicitly excluded from the negotiations.
- Talks include budget and public-works concessions, provincial debt discussions led by Economy Minister Luis Caputo, and a sectoral move cited by Torres to scrap hydrocarbon export duties in exchange for lower royalties.
