The national government has launched a new stage of political dialogue with the provinces, in a context marked by the need to rebuild relationships after the electoral defeat in Buenos Aires province.
Casa Rosada has reactivated the Ministry of the Interior, which had been downgraded to a secretariat in 2024, and appointed Lisandro Catalán as its head.
The newly appointed official inaugurated the "Federal Table", a negotiation forum that brings together the governors, starting with those who maintain agreements with La Libertad Avanza in their districts.
The presidential decision responds to a dual objective: to contain the tension between the Nation and the provinces and to organize the electoral strategy going forward. In this context, Catalán received Leandro Zdero from Chaco at Casa Rosada and has scheduled meetings with Alfredo Cornejo (Mendoza) and Rogelio Frigerio (Entre Ríos). Additionally, he will travel with Karina Milei to Tucumán to expand the political agenda in the country's interior.
The first point of conflict with the governors centers on the law for the distribution of National Treasury Contributions (ATN), recently approved in Congress. The Executive confirmed that Milei will veto the initiative, which has caused discontent in the provincial administrations.
