Santilli Secures Salta Support for 2026 Budget Push, Sets New Rounds With Mendoza and Neuquén

The Milei administration is coupling provincial outreach with targeted economic concessions to lock down congressional votes.

Overview

  • Casa Rosada said Governor Gustavo Sáenz backed approving the 2026 budget and moving on tax reform, labor modernization and a new Penal Code after a meeting with Interior Minister Diego Santilli and Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni.
  • Officials reported an operational step for Salta as three local companies were approved for ARCA’s on‑site export regime to streamline customs procedures.
  • Santilli will meet Governor Alfredo Cornejo in Mendoza on Friday and Governor Rolando Figueroa in Neuquén on Saturday, with Minister Federico Sturzenegger also visiting Mendoza to explain decisions regarding the National Institute of Vitiviniculture.
  • Santilli ruled out a meeting with Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof, emphasizing engagement with governors who signed national pacts favored by the administration.
  • Governors pressing for infrastructure tied their backing to public works, and sources close to Sáenz told El Cronista that Santilli committed to the Bioceanic Corridor in Salta, while Chamber chief Martín Menem said extraordinary sessions in December would seek to pass the budget and pending reforms.
