Provincial political leaders have an interpretation of the current situation: Javier Milei maintains high popularity in its districts and the presentation of the Budget 2025 It is a special opportunity for negotiation. That is why, despite the President’s confrontational style, The legislative provision is not a crack, but an intra-bloc segmentation that respond more to territories than to parties. Despite this, the opposition found confluences to call two sessions in both houses of Congress.
The first of them was called by deputies of the Radical Civic Union, Federal Meeting and Civic Coalition to reverse the presidential veto that fell on the pension reform approved in August. These parties would be joined by the left and peronismbut it is in this bench – which already suffered the detachment of the block Independence, made up of Tucumanians – and in the radicalism where the greatest doubts lie about homogeneous support to reach the two thirds that are needed to confront the Executive.
This is where the Chief of Staff’s negotiating role comes in. Guillermo Francoswhich after overcoming the defense of the management in Congress without inconvenience (that is, not compromising any Government partner, something unusual in the exercise of libertarian power) revitalizes contact with the provinces where the government has terminals: Corrientes, Catamarca, Neuquén, Salta, Misiones, Tucumán and Córdoba. These negotiations have a concrete impact on the indecision of the bloc Federal Innovationwhich has nine votes.
It is in those districts that The UCR began to hint at alliances with La Libertad Avanzawhich hopes to absorb some opposition votes. However, a radical legislator from those provinces confirmed to Ámbito that he will reject the veto: “Unless new facts emerge, such as commitments to relief measures for retirees. If his will is the same as it has been up to now, I see no reason to support him.”The coin is up in the air, but the opposition claims to have 160 of the 172 votes it would need to reach two thirds, a figure that can be modified by absences. Negotiations for these supports range from disillusioned libertarians to the point of being PRO supporters.

Francos’ articulating role will be put into practice this Monday, when he meets with the Head of the PRO bloc, Cristian Ritondo. The work plan in conjunction with Freedom Advances attenuated the internal conflict of the PROwhich adds expressions of closeness to the ruling party. As a symbolic expression, there are the reports of the Think Foundationchaired by the deputy Maria Eugenia Vidalwhich in July stated that “conflicts are increasing”, “the social situation is worsening” and “consumption has not yet recovered”, while in September they qualified their criticisms in the title of their editorial: “Inflation and poverty are not only the responsibility of the Executive.”
“They called us and we don’t know what they are going to propose,” Ritondo’s entourage told this newspaper. about the meeting next Monday, and assured that they will reiterate the claim for the decree that limited the requests for access to public information, This demand was replicated by projects from three different blocks. The meeting will also be attended by the Minister Federico Sturzeneggerwho has been persistently fighting a battle for deregulation and who promised upon his inauguration – in July – the Leaf litter lawa real mystery for all the benches, as much as the 2025 Budget that Milei himself will present on September 16 in Congress.
Senate: the sanction that precedes the veto
Although Peronism failed in its attempt to force a session with exclusively declamatory intentions for last Thursday, There is agreement in the Senate to approve the university financing law. The government will try until the last moment to avoid being exposed to a new presidential veto, which is expected to be inevitable. To do so, it will knock on the doors of its allies and will once again relativize the studies of the Congressional Budget Office, which represented his main resource when arguing to defend fiscal surplus until laws were passed that were inconvenient to them.
In the session next Thursday it could be a double defeat for the Government, since the repeal of the decree that granted funds reserved for the Intelligence Services. Beyond the historical nature of the event and the appropriation of the opposition blocks of the official austerity narrative, in practice SIDE spent almost all of the US$ 100 million which received reinforcement.

Peronism did not reach a quorum in the Senate last Thursday.
His hope lies in achieving the sanction of the Single Paper Ballotwhich was approved in the House of Representatives but is blocked by the request of the Rio Negro woman Monica Silva to implement a method where each candidate must be marked in a box. “I will not support that ballot, Unless something changes at the venue at the last minute,” sources close to the senator told Ámbito. “She is analyzing the issue with her peers in the bloc,” responded the Radical Party, the group that presented the project. What has changed since then? The territorial aspirations of some leaders who see the reform as inconvenient.
With less controversy, the Government is preparing to approve the first of a series of security projects, when it seeks approval for the expansion of the National Registry of Genetic DataThere is consonance in the House of Representatives, where the Criminal Law Commission It displaced the debate on initiatives that already have a certain consensus (Anti-mafia law and reduction of imputability), and moves forward with the establishment of the trial by jury and amendments to the Criminal Code on repeat offences.
