Argentina's government is pressing to close agreements with provincial governors within 15 days to suspend the PASO primary elections and secure approval of the national budget, according to Clarin.com. The push follows a reported easing of tensions during a recent meeting in Paris, La Nación reports.
Infobae reports that the fine print of the negotiations with the governors, along with 2027 electoral numbers, surprised officials at the Casa Rosada. The details of those numbers were not disclosed in the available reporting.
The government's path in the Senate is not clear. Filo News reports that the PRO and a faction of the UCR are raising obstacles to suspending the PASO, leaving the ruling coalition short of the votes it needs. La Nación frames the current phase as the point where gestures from the governors must be converted into actual votes.
Coverage of the talks has also touched on the political climate around President Javier Milei and Karina Milei, including a promise made in Paris, according to Los Andes.
What to watch next: whether the government can translate the governors' public signals into Senate votes before the 15-day window closes, and whether the budget moves alongside the PASO suspension or separately.
