The Casa Rosada negotiated Treasury funds with seven governors and is seeking support in Congress.

The national government rejects the bills recently approved by the Senate, which include the pension increase and the disability emergency, but will need the support of governors to override a potential presidential veto. According to TN, the concession the government would be willing to make would be a percentage of the tax allocated to the Integrated Road System.

Meanwhile, those working closely with Karina Milei and Santiago Caputo maintain their position of seeking a similar agreement with former President Mauricio Macri in the City of Buenos Aires.
