Amid deep unease within the UCR after the last parliament ended in scandal and destroyed bridges of dialogue, opposition arch and government forces are preparing for the first round of hand-to-hand debate on the 2026 budget.
A series of laws, including the annual tax law and the tax law, were elevated to unicameral status by Martin Jariola’s government.
Intense debate begins on Tuesday Economic and Budget Committee chaired by Schiarettista Ricardo Sosa. Minister Guillermo Acosta’s closest allies are expected to attend. Thus begins the round of officials passing through Congress. However, the economic package will be stripped of its status in parliament when it convenes the next day.
As the table details the project, we expect pure friction to begin. UCR block commanded by Matthias Gvozdenovic refuses to forgive PJ due to ‘non-compliance’ with parliamentary agreement. “What were we going to do? So they could lie to our faces again,” the radicals said of Acosta’s absence. He expressed doubts about the “Bilibili” attitude that “the ruling party has made us accustomed to” and supported it.
Anger within the bloc mentioned by Rodrigo de Loredo has tipped the balance in favor of the hawks who want to reject the Djallora budget, but an organic position will be clarified by a common agreement between the party authorities and the mayor’s forum. In anticipation of his strong refusal, Judaism takes the initiative. Gregorio Hernández Maceda, Rodrigo Agrelo and Agustín Spachesi also fired heavy shots.
The radicals promised to join the Mother Committee, but at a cost. Gvozdenovic said: “After 30 hours (of the scandalous congress), I’m going to sit down and listen to the officials who show me PowerPoints. The work starts in committee. I have to be there.”
The radicals questioned the inaction of the committee chaired by Sosa, saying it “does not address” the 2024 investment account (which was rejected by a majority of the judges in the Court of Accounts). “We did not receive any responses to the 16 tax reduction projects sent to the prime minister’s office,” he said. Their exchangeist comrades share the same argument.

opponent’s attack
“What’s historic is this year’s taxes,” he said, cutting the sword of Deloredista at the crossroads of the government’s “political propaganda” regarding the “historic tax cut plan” for 2026. “So far, Córdoba has collected 21% more state taxes than Santa Fe,” it concluded. “Mr. Llarora has enough time to finish his term without increasing the taxes he levied in 2025.”
When you attach the tip cap, Walter Nostrala (Frente Civico) declared that “the historic tax cuts are a lie.”. Opposition hawks focused on real estate in urban and rural areas, stressing, “They are calculating a 29% tax increase when the inflation rate does not exceed 14%. So the tax cut is really a lie.”
Regarding gross revenue, Judge Ultra noted that “there is a 1% discount for small sellers with annual invoices of less than 88 million yen. This has virtually no impact.” “Ninety percent of them are monopolists who don’t pay their gross income,” he said, accusing the governor of failing to signal a “policy adjustment.” “It is clear that all the residents of Cordoba will continue to pay for this state government’s grand celebrations,” he rebuked.
“The Civil Front does not intend to sign a blank check to Governor Llarllola. We did not sign it last year and we will not sign it this year,” the bench president concluded in response to Luis Juez.

neighbor Agrelo has already been put through a magnifying glass to see if the tax cut announcement is really what it is.. “You have to analyze it well,” he said, using real estate as an example. “The formula has been changed. The tax equity factor (CEI) that was used has been retained and the tax assessment has been increased. From that assessment it will be determined whether this tax, which affects so many Cordobans, will really be reduced,” he added.
In that respect, Miliosta’s Hernández Maceda frankly explained the definition. “If we don’t reduce gross income, if we don’t cut stamps, if we don’t cut institutions, if we don’t cut ministries and therefore reduce the weight of the state on Cordoban society, the middle class, the private sector, and make it possible for the poor to become middle class, this budget will not be good for us, the people of Cordoba.”. “This is also the cardboard paint and smoke sale that Governor Martín Jallola and Minister Acosta have accustomed us to,” he said.
“They sell us a colored mirror. Of course, some people emphasize tax cuts, but retirees cannot absolutely expect improvements. Teachers will continue to earn below the poverty line. Other issues related to social problems are not mentioned at all,” added Alfonsinista Dante Rossi after hearing Acosta speak during the budget presentation.
From the libertarian bench, Agustín Spachesi emphasized: For establishments with no employees, 50% of franchisees will be eligible for a reduction in their gross income rate. “One more lie from the Cordoba provincial government.”
official defense
PJ’s reply didn’t take long to arrive. “It’s a very reasonable budget given the circumstances,” Sosa said.And he asserted, “It adapts to the reality that we are experiencing, which is that money is not enough.” In defending the budget proposal, Schiaretista said, “The fiscal pressure will be reduced. There will be concrete tax cuts.”
“The Cordoba government intends to make great efforts in the interests of the people. “The submitted 2026 Budget not only honors budget surpluses, but also includes policy enhancements that promote industry, reduce taxes, and reaffirm our commitment to social justice.” Nadia Fernandes said.
After appraising the “historic tax cuts”, Interim President Facundo Torres warned that “this plan involves a huge effort on the part of the people and is part of Governor Martín Jallola’s management model, which is committed to sustaining activity, promoting employment and providing predictability in a very complex national situation.”

Acosta: “This is our contribution to stimulate economic activity”
Asked by Perfil Córdoba whether the fiscal rescue plan meant a vote of support for the national government, Economy Minister Guillermo Acosta declared: “Yes. Then he dug deeper and said: “I am confident that Argentina and the Argentine economy will start on the path to recovery.”.
“There are some indicators that show that, but there are also indicators that show the opposite, such as joint participation shipments. But I say there is confidence on the part of the Córdoba government that Argentina will start this growth trend. “This is the contribution we can make to stimulate economic activity,” Acosta said..
Confident in the economic recovery, he said that the fiscal cost expected by the Djallola administration in launching this 2026 tax cut plan: “If you add in the continued implementation of the stimulus program, the exemption program, and the new measures that we are proposing to Congress, it will exceed 1 trillion pesos with a budget that is 13 times the revenue.”
Asked if he believed in the 5% or 6% growth projected by Millais’ government, Acosta said: “Of course.” “We believe five national officials and several statements that this number could be even higher.”
