The president scheduled cabinet and legislative meetings as the ruling coalition negotiates Central Bank reform and the future of the PASO primaries. Peronist leaders are exploring a centrist coalition, but neither an agreed candidate nor a formal alliance exists.

Javier Milei called a Cabinet meeting for Monday at 10 in Casa Rosada, where he will once again carry out management activities after several weeks focused on the Quinta de Olivos and specific events. The meeting opens a week with parliamentary negotiations and internal discussions that affect La Libertad Avanza.

Karina Milei expanded during that period its involvement in meetings with governors, legislators, and Mauricio Macri. Its greater prominence coincided with a relative displacement of Santiago Caputo in official communication and with the consolidation of other figures in the digital and youth strategy. The descriptions of discomfort and fear of raising objections come from confidential sources and do not constitute verifiable institutional decisions.

The President and the Secretary General summoned for Tuesday at 17.30 national deputies and senators from La Libertad Avanza. The meeting seeks to display coordination before new sessions of Congress. Part of the agenda includes the reform of the Central Bank's Charter, concessions demanded by dialogue-oriented blocs, and the possible elimination of the PASO.

The meeting between La Libertad Avanza and PRO could be moved to the following week. The yellow party has not yet established a unified position on the primaries and intends to use its votes to negotiate a broader political agreement. In the Senate, where the governors wield greater influence, the ruling party also does not have all the necessary support guaranteed.

In parallel, Peronist leaders began to explore conversations with Raúl Jalil, Osvaldo Jaldo, Alberto Weretilneck, Gustavo Sáenz, and Martín Llaryora. A part of PJ considers that a centrist candidacy would facilitate cooperation with governors and improve their chances in a potential second round. There is, however, no agreed candidate nor a formal coalition among these sectors.

The week will combine management, Congress, and electoral preparation. The tensions described within the Government are based on anonymous testimonies and should be distinguished from confirmed movements: the convened meetings and the ongoing negotiations. Neither the Central Bank reform, nor the elimination of PASO, nor the presidential strategy of the Peronism are resolved; all depend on agreements that are still under construction.
