On Monday midday, the national government's political inner circle gathered at the Casa Rosada for a key meeting with Economy Minister Luis Caputo. According to reports, the goal was to discuss the 'fine print' of the 2026 Budget project, assess the number of available legislative supports, and anticipate potential obstacles in Congress. The meeting aims to build consensuses with allied governors, emphasizing six provinces already in advanced talks with Interior Minister Diego Santilli.
The gathering was led by Karina Milei, Secretary General of the Presidency, and included Santiago Caputo, presidential advisor; Martín Menem, President of the Chamber of Deputies; Diego Santilli, Interior Minister; Patricia Bullrich, Security Minister and future head of the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) bloc in the Senate; and Manuel Adorni, Cabinet Chief. President Javier Milei did not attend the summit, which also reviewed treatment dates in extraordinary sessions.
Additionally, officials touched on other issues, such as the reforms the Milei administration plans to push, though they clarified that final texts are not yet ready. The intention is to advance the budget's approval for next year, amid negotiations with the opposition and provincial allies. Official sources indicated that talks are underway to secure majorities in both legislative chambers.
