President Javier Milei convened his cabinet to a meeting at the Quinta de Olivos on Monday, including an asado, to assess 2025 management and outline priorities for 2026. The gathering aims to solidify the unity of the renewed team and advance key reforms such as the Inocencia Fiscal law and the 2026 Budget. It highlights internal reorganization and legislative strategy amid economic achievements.
President Javier Milei gathered his cabinet at the Quinta de Olivos on Monday, December 22, 2025, in a meeting blending year-end review with planning for 2026. Unlike the December 26, 2024, gathering before his Davos trip, which featured an 'a la romana' asado where each paid their share, this team is partially renewed following post-election changes.
Participants include Presidential Chief of Staff Karina Milei; Chamber of Deputies President Martín Menem; Senator Patricia Bullrich; and new Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni. Notable additions are Alejandra Monteoliva in Security, Carlos Alberto Presti in Defense, and Diego Santilli in Interior, alongside the ongoing influence of Santiago Caputo on policies and communication. The asado in the presidential residence gardens will highlight achievements like fiscal surplus and project a 2026 with economic growth, controlled inflation, and structural reforms.
The agenda covers internal reorganization review and legislative strategy adjustments. A special Senate session is scheduled for December 26 to debate the 2026 Budget, which already passed the lower house. Milei confirmed he will not veto the bill, despite rejection of Chapter XI on repealing laws like University Financing and Disability Emergency. 'I won't veto it, we have a Budget,' he stated, noting the text is based on zero deficit and that allocations will be adjusted for fiscal balance. 'We managed to pass the Budget. The legislative battle had 14 clashes,' he added, stressing no tax hikes and financial rigor.
The administration aims to display unity at year-end, solidifying a coalition for labor reforms and the Inocencia Fiscal law, which alters the tax penal regime and income tax declarations.
