Argentina's Interior Minister Diego Santilli on provincial tour to back budget

Buenos Aires, November 30 (NA) – The Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli, continues his tour within the framework of a series of meetings he holds with provincial governors, and will travel to Corrientes to meet with Governor Gustavo Valdés. According to information from the Argentine News Agency, these meetings, which were specifically requested by President Javier Milei, aim for Santilli to secure the necessary backing to 'approve' the next year's budget without altering the management plan of the National Government and prioritizing fiscal balance and focusing on the implementation of bill projects linked to labor, criminal, and tax reforms. The minister's agenda highlights the idea of dialoguing with the provincial governors on fiscal issues, public works, and the progress of the laws promoted by the National Executive, once the elected deputies and senators take office in December. According to Santilli's statements, the entire Milei team continues to focus on obtaining the necessary majorities in Congress to approve the structural reforms they propose from La Libertad Avanza (LLA). Since taking office as Minister of the Interior, he has already met with Martín Llaryora (Córdoba), Marcelo Orrego (San Juan), Ignacio Torres (Chubut), Gustavo Sáenz (Salta), Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán), Rolando Figueroa (Neuquén), Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza), Carlos Sadir (Jujuy), Raúl Jalil (Catamarca), Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos), Leandro Zdero (Chaco), Alberto Weretilneck (Río Negro), Hugo Passalacqua (Misiones), and Gerardo Zamora (Santiago del Estero). To conclude, Santilli stated that the President aims to improve the relationship with the interior of the country and maintain an open dialogue to agree and work together.
