Santilli meets with Jujuy governor to support budget and reforms

The bill is usually passed with near-unanimity, it's even a gesture of the opposition towards the ruling party that sets the roadmap with some particular negotiations, stated a violet legislator while clarifying: 'The reforms are more ambitious and more lasting. The Budget lasts a year and the reforms last until someone amends them behind the law.' Buenos Aires, November 28 (NA) – The Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli, received the Governor of Jujuy, Carlos Saadi, within the framework of rounds with provincial representatives to garner legislative support for the extraordinary sessions starting on December 10. According to what Argentine News Agency learned, the Jujuy official paraded through the Bustos Hall of the Casa Rosada at 9:50 for the exchange with the objective of continuing the search for endorsements to approve the 2026 Budget and the second-generation reforms. After less than an hour of talks, the provincial representative left the Casa Rosada without speaking. This outlet was able to reconstruct that the agenda included the need to approve the budget, for which they emphasized 'that it is a priority for Congress to advance with this legislation.' The Head of Cabinet, Manuel Adorni, was not present, as he is at the National Congress along with the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, to attend the swearing-in of Patricia Bullrich as a new senator. Saadi is the 15th governor to meet with the Executive Branch, and it only remains to summon Sergio Ziliotto (La Pampa), Claudio Poggi (San Luis), Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe), and Jorge Macri (CABA) to evaluate the steps they will take regarding the four rebel Peronists. Next Monday, Santilli will travel to Corrientes to meet with Gustavo Valdés. 'There is goodwill, there is an intention to support. Several issues have been resolved in a few days,' they summarized to this agency in the exchanges and added: 'Santilli and Adorni are focused on the issue, they are in line with the governors, and the entire government is working to pass the Budget and the reforms. There is optimism because there is joint work and willingness from the provinces for this to pass.' In Balcarce 50, there are expectations for the approval of the 2026 Budget, but they see some objections to be smoothed out in the second-generation reforms.
