The Argentine government, with Diego Santilli as the new Interior Minister, is intensifying dialogues with provincial governors to advance the 2026 Budget and labor and tax reforms. Santilli has already resigned as a deputy and started meetings at the Casa Rosada. However, doubts arise over congressional alliances following the departure of legislators aligned with Patricia Bullrich.
Diego Santilli submitted his resignation as a national deputy on November 7, 2025, enabling his immediate entry into the cabinet as Interior Minister. The Executive urged him to speed up this process to facilitate dialogue with the provinces and push forward key reforms. Alongside Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni, Santilli has already met at the Casa Rosada with Ignacio Torres, governor of Chubut, and Jaldo Jalil from Catamarca.
Next week, meetings are scheduled with Marcelo Orrego from San Juan, Martín Llaryora from Córdoba, and Gustavo Sáenz from Salta. These gatherings are part of a broader strategy to secure congressional support, with priorities including approval of the 2026 Budget alongside changes to labor and tax laws.
Meanwhile, doubts are growing over a potential interbloc between PRO and La Libertad Avanza. The departure of legislators aligned with Patricia Bullrich has shifted the negotiation landscape, challenging the officialism's alliances. The government is seeking key parliamentary backing to advance its legislative agenda amid internal political tensions.
