Minister of the Interior Diego Santilli visited Entre Ríos this Thursday, where he met with Governor Rogelio Frigerio. Both agreed on the importance of the labor reform bill receiving 'overwhelming support' in Congress, as part of a series of meetings with provincial leaders. The meeting, held at the Government House in the city of Paraná, saw the head of the Interior Ministry and the governor value the joint actions coordinated between the national and provincial governments. They also concurred on the need to approve the labor reform, one of President Javier Milei's top priorities to implement in the second half of his term. Santilli stated that 'no governor can be against a law that seeks to generate private employment, increase productivity, and investments for the provinces and Argentina.' In turn, Frigerio expressed the 'overwhelming support of the Entre Ríos government for the labor modernization project, which includes rights for half of the workers who do not have them,' according to the Argentine News Agency. 'We will continue to work together on this reform. You are taking overwhelming support for the labor reform,' the PRO governor told Santilli. The tour The meeting came after Frigerio revealed on Wednesday the discovery of three illegal espionage devices hidden in his office and the provincial General Secretariat, for which he filed criminal complaints with the Justice Department. Thus, Santilli continued this week his tour to garner support for the labor reform, and on Wednesday he visited Neuquén, where he secured Governor Rolando Figueroa's commitment to back the initiative in Congress. So far, the minister has secured the backing of six governors for the labor reform: Marcelo Orrego (San Juan); Leandro Zdero (Chaco); Gustavo Sáenz (Salta) and Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza), in addition to Frigerio and Figueroa.
