The Government Prepares to Send the 2027 Budget to Congress and Opens a New Negotiation with the Provinces
Casa Rosada is finalizing the bill, which is due to reach the Chamber of Deputies this week. According to Crónica, the ruling party will seek to maintain fiscal balance while advancing talks with governors and allied blocs.
The national Government is preparing to send the 2027 Budget bill to Congress, in a context shaped by the electoral debate and a new round of talks with the provinces.
According to Crónica, the initiative will be sent this Tuesday to the Chamber of Deputies, in line with what is established by the Financial Administration Law. In Casa Rosada, that outlet added, officials are finalizing the text that will set resources and appropriations for an election year.
According to what has been anticipated by the Executive Branch, always according to Crónica, the bill will preserve the guidelines of the budget presented in 2026: fiscal balance, consolidation of macroeconomic stability and continuity in the decline of inflation.
Before that step, Javier Milei will receive this Monday at Casa Rosada deputies and senators from La Libertad Avanza. Crónica reported that they will analyze budget details and the ruling party’s parliamentary strategy there. They will also be informed about the initiative announced in a national broadcast to strengthen the defense of Argentine sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands and toughen economic sanctions against companies that exploit natural resources without state authorization.
Legislative consideration would begin in the coming weeks in the Budget and Finance Committee, chaired by Bertie Benegas Lynch after José Luis Espert’s departure. In that process, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, will play a key role in the search for support.
The ruling party’s first objective will be to gather 129 votes to reach quorum. According to Crónica, that goal appears conditioned by a scenario in which the opposition has recently shown a majority to push other debates in committee and on the floor.
