An important number of their own and collaborator deputies, totaling 105, does not allow Milei's politicians to have a rich legislative agenda. The lack of votes to approve laws creates a complex scenario in which agreements are sought to approve the 2025 budget, even twisting the will of provinces.
In this context, the Casa Rosada expects that the momentum and expectations generated by this process will provide the government with greater maneuverability for the coming year. Given the lack of funds, the possibility of compensating with 'payments in kind', such as investments in infrastructure and strategic areas in the provinces, is being considered.
Meanwhile, Milei has managed to allocate a portion of the budget, around 6%, to sectors such as education, science, and technology. This agreement is presented as a significant advance after previous negative responses to electoral pacts with the PRO in various provinces. However, there are still unresolved issues in the 2025 Budget, including the possibility of transferring the management of a key port in the country.
In the economic sphere, the goal is to maintain a zero deficit and ensure sufficient adherence to avoid compromising the economic program and budgets. A scenario is projected where the economic recession of the first semester does not repeat in 2025, aiming for a controlled inflation level of around 20% for the next year.
Amid negotiations and agreements, the government and La Libertad Avanza have maintained key conversations, focusing on the budget, university financing, and possible electoral alliances. Despite some friction and differences, a scenario of constant negotiation between both parties is emerging, exploring agreements and disagreements in building consensus.
