After sharing a barbecue in Olivos with four of the governors of the Norte Grande, Javier Milei will take a new step in the thaw with the provinces. This Thursday, the President will receive leaders from Together for Change (JxC) at the Pink House with the aim of polishing details of the Budget 2025 and shore up legislative support to approve the project.
As he was able to find out Scopeit will be a lunch, the first in a series that the libertarian administration plans to carry out. The provincial heads of the PRO would be part of the initial group Ignacio Torres (Chubut), Jorge Macri (CABA) and Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos). They will also participate Claudio Poggi (Saint Louis) and Marcelo Orrego (Saint John). members of the JxC league.
Call to PRO governors
The meeting will take place just days after Milei entertained the Peronists Osvaldo Jaldo (Tucumán) and Raul Jalil (Catamarca) and the provincialists Hugo Passalacqua (Missions) and Gustavo Saenz (Salta) for its key role in shielding the veto of University Financing in the Chamber of Deputies.
With that move, the President not only built a bridge with the districts towards the treatment of the 2025 Budget, but also entered the internal party for the Justicialista Party (PJ), trying to further atomize the decimated bloc. It is worth remembering that, until last year, the four “hero” leaders were part of the Unión por la Patria (UP) league. Now, only Jalil inhabits that universe, although with differences.
Milei, meanwhile, will seek to do the same with the leaders who orbit Mauricio Macrisince both Frigerio and Torres report to the yellow party. In the political dimension, it will be a new piece in the game of encounters and disagreements that the two leaders have been involved in since the consolidation of the Acassuso Pact.
The rest of the JxC league is completed with provincial leaders of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), who on this occasion were not invited to Balcarce 50. These are Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza), Carlos Sadir (Jujuy), Leandro Zdero (Chaco), Gustavo Valdes (Currents) and Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe).
With the brand new call, the Nation will seek to add volume in Congress in the face of the treatment of the “law of laws.” In recent weeks, in the shadow of the few responses to their complaints, The provincial leaders had increased the reproaches against the libertarian administration, raising the tone of the relationship.
However, with the support of Mauricio Macrithe President managed to shield the veto of the University Financing Law, a move where the Peronist and pro-Peronist governors were key.
Roast with wayward Peronists and provincialists
As he told Scopethe leaders highlighted the dialogue with Milei but came back empty-handed. Once again, the head of the Executive Branch stressed to them that the fiscal balance is not negotiated, beyond listening to the complaints that the districts brought to him. Among them, transportation subsidies stand out, the paralysis of public works and the cutting of funds and transfers, among other aspects that are repeated repeatedly in the menu of reproaches from the provinces.
The appointment was not coincidental. The four have control over a handful of legislators who, given the lack of volume of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) in the Chamber of Deputies, became a key element in supporting government measures. While Jaldo commands the Independence bloc, which has three seats, Sáenz and Passalacqua make up Federal Innovation, which balances between the ruling party and the opposition.

Presidency
Despite the good ideological harmony between several of the JxC governors with the Casa Rosada, The erosion of the presidential image and the passing of the chainsaw over the provincial public accounts accelerated the unrest among several of them. The transversal feeling is that they gave too much in support of the Bases law and the May Pact and that this support was never reciprocated.
On the contrary, when presenting the 2025 Budget bill, Milei demanded an adjustment of US$60 billion from subnational administrations. Quickly, with Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos at the helm, Nación came out to put the figure into perspective.
