The Peronist leader confirmed this Wednesday that he will be at the meeting with Milei and most of his peers. The national executive intends not to lose the momentum from the victory at the polls and will accelerate talks on labor and tax reforms to supposedly address them in extraordinary sessions of Congress early next year, with the new, more favorable for the ruling party, parliamentary composition. Although the libertarian party significantly increased its blocs in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate after the recent electoral success, it still needs the support of lawmakers in both chambers who report to the provincial governors, taking for granted that its initiatives will not have the support of the Kirchnerist Peronist blocs. These projects have not yet been drafted and will be prepared after the Council of May (the tripartite forum where the three branches of government, unionism, and business discuss) finalizes its final report, on which they are working, something expected for mid-December. "We will support everything we understand is right and all the reforms that need to be carried out, as they were asking us," said the Santa Fe governor Maximiliano Pullaro, who had been critical of the national executive before the national elections. President Javier Milei will meet with a large group of governors to whom he will ask for cooperation to agree on and pass in Congress the tax and labor reform projects that the Government is promoting for the next stage. The meeting, convened quickly under the impetus of the clear electoral support received on Sunday, will be at 5 PM in the Casa Rosada, where the head of state will be accompanied by the Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francos; the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, and the Minister of the Interior, Lisandro Catalán. Invited to attend were Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos), Raúl Jalil (Catamarca), Claudio Poggi (San Luis), Martín Llaryora (Córdoba), Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe), Gustavo Valdés (Corrientes), Ignacio “Nacho” Torres (Chubut), Carlos Sadir (Jujuy) and Claudio Vidal (Santa Cruz). Also Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán), Hugo Passalacqua (Misiones), Gustavo Sáenz (Salta), Gerardo Zamora (Santiago del Estero) and Jorge Macri (City of Buenos Aires). Labor reform, tax reform, we cannot have the tax burden that the Argentine Republic has today,” stated the Santa Fe governor Pullaro in recent hours, who had been critical of the national executive before the elections. The tax reform draws the attention of provincial governors, while the labor reform has already sparked tensions with the CGT, which has warned it will not back and will even seek to block any change that implies "setbacks" or "loss of rights." After this meeting, the next day, President Milei is scheduled to meet again at noon at the Olivos residence with former President Mauricio Macri, with whom he met twice after the libertarian electoral setback in the September Buenos Aires provincial elections and with whom he spoke by phone after the national victory last Sunday. There are two other invitees who, due to other commitments, will not be able to attend and will send their deputies: Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza) and Rolando Figueroa (Neuquén). The invitation to the governor of La Pampa, Sergio Ziliotto, was surprising, as he is in a bloc of six governors close to Kirchnerism who were not expected to be summoned, at least not this time.
