His early outreach to governors coincides with Buenos Aires City pressing to enshrine a 1.55% coparticipation guarantee in the 2026 budget.

Overview

  • President Javier Milei will administer the oath to Diego Santilli at 15:00 in the Salón Blanco of the Casa Rosada.
  • Santilli has already met Ignacio Torres (Chubut) and Raúl Jalil (Catamarca) and scheduled meetings with Martín Llaryora (Córdoba), Marcelo Orrego (San Juan) and Gustavo Sáenz (Salta).
  • Chubut’s governor said the commitment to eliminate oil export retentions remains in place and that a decree is expected to advance the measure.
  • Milei tasked Santilli with leading negotiations with provinces and legislators to assemble support for the 2026 budget and a labor, tax and penal reform package.
  • PRO tensions sharpen the talks as Buenos Aires seeks explicit budget language for the remaining 1.55% weekly transfers under the 2.95% coparticipation scheme, and PRO deputies signed the budget report in dissent.
