Santilli Secures Chaco Governor’s Backing as Government Lines Up Votes for Labor Overhaul

The government is courting governors with potential fiscal offsets ahead of an early-February Senate debate.

Overview

  • Chaco’s Leandro Zdero pledged support after meeting Interior Minister Diego Santilli, adding expected backing from two senators elected through his alliance with La Libertad Avanza.
  • Santilli is on a provincial swing, with meetings set with La Pampa’s Sergio Ziliotto, Mendoza’s Alfredo Cornejo, and ongoing coordination with Chubut’s Ignacio Torres.
  • The Executive is negotiating compensation for provinces worried about reduced revenue from proposed corporate income tax changes, with estimates of losses near 3 trillion pesos.
  • The Casa Rosada is preparing extraordinary sessions starting around February 2 and reconvened its political table to align Senate strategy, including a technical review of the bill.
  • Unions and Peronist blocs plan to contest the text, while officials frame the measure as a modernization to formalize work and boost private employment.
