In early August 2026, Argentine senators in Córdoba clashed over a proposed amendment to the Land Law that would raise the foreign‑ownership cap on rural land from 15 % to 25 %. Senators Luis Juez and Carmen Álvarez Rivero supported the executive draft, while Alejandra Vigo warned of sovereignty risks. The debate was accompanied by broader concerns about provincial financing, as Senator Gerardo Zamora accused Governor Martín Llaryora of fiscal shortfalls.

A few days later, Senator Flavia Royón withheld her vote on the same amendment, creating uncertainty for President Javier Milei’s reform agenda. Governors from Salta, Jaldo and Jalil pressed the Senate, arguing the bill lacked sufficient support. Their pressure forced the government to pull the land‑law chapter from the Senate agenda, marking a setback for the reform and highlighting the delicate balance between the Milei administration and provincial legislators.
