The government will call extraordinary sessions to address the budget and the reforms promoted by Milei.

The Government confirmed that it will call for extraordinary sessions in the National Congress between December 10 and 31, with the goal of debating the 2026 Budget and advancing the structural reforms promoted by President Javier Milei. The decision was communicated by sources from the Office of the President, who do not rule out extending the session period to January and February, as has happened in the past two years.

The initiative seeks to take advantage of the legislative turnover and the parliamentary strengthening of La Libertad Avanza (LLA), which starting in December will have more than 100 allied seats in the Chamber of Deputies if allies are included, and 18 own senators in the Upper House. This new legislative scenario places the ruling party in a better position to negotiate with dialogue-oriented blocs and consolidate agreements that allow it to move forward with its economic and political agenda.

The 2026 Budget, the Government's priority

The central focus of the extraordinary sessions will be the approval of the 2026 Budget, a key step for the Executive after two consecutive years of extensions. With this project, the Government seeks to establish a clear roadmap for spending and financing, in line with the commitments made to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the United States Treasury, and provincial governors.

"With that you can cover public works and certain transportation allocations, as well as some debts that the Nation currently owes to the provinces," explained a high-level source, who anticipated that the Budget will be the first sign of fiscal order and institutional predictability in the new stage of Milei's government.

Negotiations with the provinces and political dialogue

Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni will be responsible for coordinating meetings with governors to reach consensus on the details of the Budget. Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli, Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Martín Menem, and Undersecretary of Institutional Management Eduardo "Lule" Menem will also participate, under the direct supervision of Karina Milei, Secretary General of the Presidency.

The Executive seeks to strengthen ties with the provinces through a dialogue-oriented strategy, but without altering the distribution scheme of the National Treasury Contributions (ATN). Meanwhile, Minister of Economy Luis Caputo is working on a plan to settle provincial debts, which will be part of the fiscal and public works negotiation package.

Provincial administrations welcome the call, although they insist on the need for concrete signals: "They need to regain lost credibility. If those in the Rosada continue to believe that we only have to comply, things will not go well for them. We need concrete actions, not gestures," stated a source close to a central region governor.

Structural reforms on the agenda

Although the Budget will be the priority, the Government also plans to move forward with three key reforms: tax, labor, and criminal. However, sources from the ruling party admit that the December timeframe may be insufficient, so the extraordinary sessions would be extended to January and February.

These reforms are part of the structural transformation plan that Javier Milei is promoting to reduce the tax burden, make the labor market more flexible, and strengthen security and institutional order.

A year-end with a full agenda

The call for extraordinary sessions confirms the Government's decision to accelerate the legislative pace and consolidate the pillars of its economic program. With a stronger parliamentary base and a strategy of dialogue with the provinces, the ruling party aims to close the year with a demonstration of governability and orderly management.
