Santilli Resigns From Congress to Lead Interior’s Budget Talks With Governors

The move installs a political deal‑maker to court provincial backing for the 2026 budget ahead of December’s extraordinary sessions.

Overview

  • Diego Santilli submitted his resignation as a national deputy, clearing the way for his swearing‑in as Interior minister in the coming days.
  • Santilli began bilateral meetings at the Casa Rosada with Chubut’s Ignacio Torres and Catamarca’s Raúl Jalil, joined by Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni.
  • The immediate goal is to build the votes to pass the 2026 national budget in extraordinary congressional sessions slated for mid‑December.
  • The administration is prioritizing one‑on‑one talks with cooperative, dialoguist governors while de‑emphasizing mass convocations reported in earlier outreach.
  • Legislative shifts are expected: Nelson Marino would fill Santilli’s seat until December 10, with Rubén Torres slated to assume afterward, pending formal procedures.
