Argentina
Milei Will Travel to Paris with Governors Amid PASO Negotiations
The delegation will include more than a dozen provincial governors and aims to project political backing and governing capacity. According to Clarín, the trip comes as the government negotiates the budget and a possible suspension of the primaries.
Javier Milei and Karina Milei will travel to Paris between September 30 and October 2 to take part in Argentina Week, a gathering aimed at promoting investment, with a delegation made up of more than a dozen governors, according to Clarín.
According to that outlet, the delegation would largely repeat the format of the previous trip to New York. Among the governors mentioned are Carlos Sadir, Alfredo Cornejo, Juan Pablo Valdés, Marcelo Orrego, Raúl Jalil, Gustavo Sáenz, Alberto Weretilneck, Ignacio Torres and Rolando Figueroa. Rogelio Frigerio and Leandro Zdero would also join, while Jorge Macri was invited, although officials in the City were avoiding confirming his attendance.
Clarín said the government seeks to use the trip to project an image of governability to investors and abroad, while the governors interested in joining hope to use the visit to advance projects and secure resources for their provinces.
At the same time, the relationship with the provinces is also being shaped by the debate over the budget and the suspension of the PASO primaries. According to Clarín, several governors are taking part in those talks with the Casa Rosada and with Diego Santilli, in a scenario where the outcome remains open.
Still according to that outlet, the Casa Rosada wants to reach an agreement quickly after the National Electoral Chamber warned about changes to electoral rules close to the vote. However, some governors prefer to delay the decision in order to negotiate under better conditions.
Clarín added that not all governors close to the ruling coalition will be part of the trip. Osvaldo Jaldo will not join the delegation, Martín Llaryora will send a delegation, and Maximiliano Pullaro, at least for now, says he will not go.
