The President is leading a new political committee with his top officials, amid internal disputes within the ruling party and tensions with the opposition. This Monday at 9 p.m., he will announce the 2026 Budget, with a focus on a zero deficit.

President Javier Milei is at the Casa Rosada this Monday to lead a new meeting of the political committee with his closest officials. The immediate agenda includes swearing in Lisandro Catalán as Minister of the Interior at 11:30 a.m., after the government officially reactivated the portfolio and redefined the role of the Chief of Staff.

The day takes place in a context of strong internal tensions within La Libertad Avanza, with friction between the team of Santiago Caputo and the sector that answers to Karina Milei and the Menem, despite the President's attempts to show cohesion.

The ruling party also faces a key week in Congress, where the dispute with the opposition intensifies following the presidential vetoes of the University Financing Law, the Emergency at the Garrahan Hospital, and the distribution of National Treasury Contributions (ATN).

In parallel with the political activity, the Government confirmed that this Monday at 9 p.m. Milei will present the 2026 Budget through a national broadcast. The recording will take place at 5 p.m. in the White Room of the Casa Rosada and, according to official sources, the message will place special emphasis on zero deficit, one of the main economic banners of her administration.

With a dual political and economic agenda, Milei will seek to send signals of strength within her party and to the markets, at a time marked by legislative pressure and internal differences within her cabinet.
