The topic of national routes also came up. In the libertarian administration, they are trying to garner support to pass the 'Labor Modernization' project that so obsesses President Javier Milei. Buenos Aires, February 3 (NA) – The Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, received the governor of La Pampa, Sergio Ziliotto, this morning, escorted by the Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli, who rejected the Labor Reform being worked on by the Government and reiterated his claims regarding the Nation's debt with the province he leads. According to what Argentine News Agency learned, the provincial leader arrived at the Casa Rosada at 10 a.m., following two failed meetings that he had to suspend due to personal issues and the complex weather conditions affecting his province. At the end of the exchange, which lasted a little over an hour, the Peronist requested a project that 'benefits everyone' and proposed to expand the debate on the article designed by Ministers Federico Sturzengger (Deregulation and State Transformation) and Luis Caputo (Economy). 'A Labor Reform is something that must benefit everyone and be debated without the participation of workers and SMEs in its drafting, which gives it a sectoral framework that doesn't match,' he argued from the Patio de Palmeras. In the same vein, he added: 'I just raised it in the meeting with Adorni and Santilli that the debate should be expanded, to seek input from workers, the CGT has raised it, I have also met with CAME, the SME sector has also not been consulted.' 'These are necessary reforms but they need the participation of all actors, otherwise it will be a law that will not have followers. With the start of the extraordinary sessions and the possibility of debating it in the chamber next Wednesday, February 11, in the Senate, the political leadership is building bridges with all sectors.' 'This absolutely solves nothing, especially as it is, and I believe that debate must include a greater number of actors,' he expanded. Although the Executive's representatives seek to build bridges with the reluctant provincial representative, they show willingness to dialogue. However, he requested that the exchange take place at the Casa Rosada and not in La Pampa. As on each occasion, he reiterated his claims regarding the debt the Nation has with the province, amounting to 400,000 million corresponding to the pension deficit. La Pampa, like 13 other provinces, did not transfer their pension funds to the Nation and does not receive updated monthly payments from ANSES. Within the framework of the Nation's debt cancellation scheme with the provinces, Ziliotto stated: 'We have requested the transfer of a Procrear housing operation for 636 units that the Province of La Pampa is willing to complete, award, and administer. It must always be stated that job generation does not come from changing a law; it has to do with labor relations and the economy.'
