Overview
- Javier Milei convened roughly 15–17 governors for Thursday at Casa Rosada to open talks on labor and tax reforms, with Guillermo Francos, Luis Caputo and Interior Minister Lisandro Catalán set to attend, and leaders such as Rogelio Frigerio, Raúl Jalil, Jorge Macri and Claudio Poggi among the invitees.
- The 2026 budget is under active committee review this week, including Security Minister Patricia Bullrich’s appearance to field questions over planned cuts, while opposition lawmakers continue to demand Economy Minister Luis Caputo’s presence.
- Dialoguist blocs plan to sign an alternative draft on November 4 that targets a 0.9% fiscal surplus versus the government’s 1.5% and folds in emergency funding for health, disability and universities, with a potential special session eyed for November 11–13.
- The executive is preparing to call extraordinary sessions largely to secure passage of Presupuesto 2026, as officials weigh whether to add other items while signaling that labor and tax bills are not yet finalized.
- The administration says it will send a renewed Ley Bases II and a revised “Ley de Hojarasca” to Congress around December 15 after the legislative turnover, timing that coincides with the Consejo de Mayo’s forthcoming report to shape reform texts.
