Amidst a backdrop of political and economic tensions, President Javier Milei is preparing to present the 2026 Budget on national television. The announcement, which will be recorded at the Casa Rosada, seeks to reaffirm the government's focus on fiscal balance, despite criticism over the low level of investment in public works.

In a climate of economic uncertainty and political tensions, President Javier Milei will announce the 2026 Budget via a national broadcast. The announcement, recorded at the Casa Rosada, will air at 9:00 p.m., in an attempt to reposition the government following the recent electoral defeat in the province of Buenos Aires. Milei is expected to defend his approach to fiscal balance and public spending adjustments, although details of the project are being kept confidential.

During her presentation, Milei plans to highlight the achievements of her administration, such as the reduction in inflation and the cut in public spending. She will also address the economic projections for 2026, which include 4.5% growth and inflation between 7% and 12%, according to the program agreed upon with the IMF.

However, the government is facing pressure from governors due to the low level of investment in public works, an issue it is seeking to address with the appointment of Lisandro Catalán as the new Minister of the Interior.

Political reorganization after the electoral defeat

In addition to the budget announcement, Milei called a meeting of the national political committee to discuss the electoral strategy following the defeat in Buenos Aires. The meeting will include key figures such as Santiago Caputo, Karina Milei, and Martín Menem.

A meeting will also be held with the Buenos Aires political committee to develop a plan to reverse the results of the upcoming national legislative elections on October 26.

If they attack us, it's because we're doing the right thing and are close to defeating them, Milei said in a message during a Vox party event in Madrid, reaffirming her political stance amid internal tensions.
