Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni presented the final report of the Consejo de Mayo, promoted by Javier Milei's Government. The document outlines changes to the Expropriations Law, rural land regime, and educational reform with greater provincial autonomy. These proposals will form the basis of bills for Congress in 2026 and extraordinary sessions.

The Consejo de Mayo, convened by President Javier Milei with representatives from business, unions, legislature, and 18 provinces, concluded its work with a final report presented by Manuel Adorni on December 9, 2025. The document translates eight of the ten points from the Pacto de Mayo into bills, focusing on the inviolability of private property, land regulation, and educational restructuring.

On expropriations, it proposes a new law calculating indemnities at pre-announcement market value, updated by the Consumer Price Index and appraised by independents. It also speeds up evictions in cases of precarious tenure, intrusion, or usurpation, eliminating administrative delays. For popular neighborhoods, it suggests removing the ban on selling lots to legal entities, allowing sales to cooperatives or companies to expedite regularization, though critics warn of real estate speculation risks.

Regarding rural lands, the report pushes for repealing limits on foreign purchases to dynamize the market and attract investments in extensive productions and renewables. In fire management, it eliminates the 30-to-60-year prohibition on changing productive land use after fires, arguing it discourages economic recovery. It also advocates for free exploitation of strategic resources, harmonizing labor regulations without local hiring quotas for mining projects like lithium and copper.

In education, national minimum contents are set, but with autonomy for provinces and schools in curricula, involving families. Modalities like distance and hybrid education are enabled under supervision, and census evaluations at secondary school end are reinstated with public results.

Additionally, the labor reform includes eliminating ultractivity in agreements, prioritizing local pacts, adjustments in agrarian contracts and for platform delivery workers, and repealing obsolete norms. The Government assures it will not significantly alter unions' roles, focusing on job creation and seeking agreements with the CGT.

Discussions on X highlight polarized views on the Consejo de Mayo's reforms. Supporters applaud inviolable private property via expropriation changes, liberalization of rural land sales to foreigners for investment, and greater provincial autonomy in education for efficiency. Critics decry land reforms as selling the country and warn of education defunding through vouchers and decentralization.

Javier Milei's government advances a moderate labor reform project, discussed in the Mayo Council and open to changes for Senate approval before year-end. The CGT delayed its decisions until Tuesday's official presentation and prepares an alternative proposal to promote youth employment. A poll shows 61% of the population supports a labor reform, though only 43% backs the official version.

Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni led the year's first officialist political table meeting to devise a strategy ensuring the labor reform's approval in Congress. Interior Minister Diego Santilli will start a tour of key provinces like Salta, Neuquén, and Entre Ríos to negotiate compensations amid unrest over Income Tax changes. This effort aims to address governors' concerns who are conditioning support on fiscal adjustments.

The Chamber of Deputies approved Javier Milei's labor reform with 135 affirmative votes and 115 negative ones, in a session marked by tensions and an incident involving Deputy Florencia Carignano. The bill, which includes changes to indemnities and contracts, returns to the Senate for final approval on February 27 after the removal of the article on medical leaves. The ruling party celebrated the progress as a step toward labor modernization.

Guillermo Francos resigned as chief of cabinet in Javier Milei's government after the October 26 elections, with presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni set to assume the role starting Monday. The move drew criticism from Mauricio Macri, who questioned Adorni's experience, and Axel Kicillof, who criticized his exclusion from a governors' meeting. Adorni pledged to deepen structural reforms as a priority.

Following the Lower House's rejection of a controversial chapter, Argentina's Senate Budget Committee approved a majority dictamen for the 2026 Budget on December 19, omitting Chapter 11 on repealing university and disability funding laws. A special session is set for December 26, while labor reform moves to February.

The Argentine government estimates it has secured the support of five governors to pass the labor reform, while businesses negotiate changes with Senator Patricia Bullrich to avoid judicial challenges. The bill, aimed at modernizing labor legislation, will be debated in the Senate in February. Business chambers back the overall spirit but seek amendments to specific articles impacting collective bargaining and entity funding.
