Concerned about the lack of ruling, governors add pressure for the 2025 Budget
While Javier Milei maintains a series of bilateral meetings in Brazil after the G20 summit, the discussion on the Budget 2025 gets stuck in Deputies and turns on the alarms of the governors, who watch with concern how the last possibility of securing funds to relieve the battered provincial coffers is slipping away. This Tuesday, the ruling party suspended the meeting of the Budget and Finance Commissionwhere they expected the project to obtain an opinion, reflecting the prevailing tension.
From the meetings with the President in the Casa Rosada and Olivos to the surprise semi-virtual summit last Thursday at the Federal Investment Council (CFI), The leaders sought to influence the drafting of the “law of laws” and use the firepower of their legislators to condition the final text of the project, in the face of scarce management of their own seats.
Although the transversal sentiment of the various dialogical tribes is that Nation must have a clear roadmap for next year -especially since the budget that currently governs was prepared in 2022 and, if it were extended once again, it would be three years out of date-, The truth is that the conversations are not going in the right direction.
Although not having the law would allow libertarians to have games at ease and “piacere”, It would also mean a message of instability for the markets and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). At the same time, the provinces seek to have details to prepare their own accounts. The needs are mutual.
