Buenos Aires
The Frente Renovador has blocked initiatives on gambling addiction, health reform, the provincial Supreme Court and the electoral calendar, making clear it will not support the executive without broader agreements. The pressure reaches the 2027 budget, municipal autonomy, provincial primaries and power-sharing inside Unión por la Patria.
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
The legislature approved by 53 votes an initial six-month emergency, renewable, with budget reallocations, subsidies, preferential loans and AUSA resources. A special commission must oversee fund use, 191 territorial interventions and any extension of the measure.
Río Negro
Neuquén City's 2027 budget projects 916 billion pesos in spending: 22% for personnel, 50% for infrastructure, 26% for goods and services and 2% for decentralized agencies. The surplus would finance works without borrowing, but the council must scrutinize assumptions, execution and land sales.
Tucumán
The bill sent to the legislature projects 7.35 trillion pesos in spending, a surplus of only 304 million and 51.5% of appropriations for personnel. It assumes 18% inflation, 4% growth and a 1,847-peso dollar despite the forecast errors that forced a 2026 budget expansion.
Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands
The national deputy asked Governor Gustavo Melella and Minister Alejandro Barrozo for amounts paid, debts, pending funds and criteria used from January through October. Río Grande says the province owes it more than 17 billion pesos and is considering joint institutional action.

The provincial convention was called for October 7 at 11:30 a.m. at Club San Martín in the capital. The agenda includes a draft prepared by an ad hoc committee, management reports and the launch of the UCR Conecta app.
Corrientes
Governor Juan Pablo Valdés presented in France a high-voltage project linking Saladas, Santa Rosa and Curuzú Laurel, with two new substations and an expansion at Bruyne. A French agency technical mission will visit the province in November; financing still depends on that assessment.
Mendoza
Former legislator and PJ leader Miguel Serralta said he is prepared to run for mayor in 2027, although he has not yet made a decision. He also backed current mayor Matías Stevanato for a possible candidacy for governor of Mendoza.
Santa Fe
National senator Carolina Losada is considering both re-election and heading a list for Santa Fe's Chamber of Deputies. Her closer alignment with Maximiliano Pullaro's provincial project comes as an electoral reform changes the distribution of the chamber's 50 seats and reshapes internal competition.
Corrientes
The equipment purchased by Juan Guden can turn a car or pickup into a metal bale in three minutes and process up to 130 units per shift. The company plans to add an industrial furnace and is considering future exports, with no contract or date yet.
Chaco
Sergio Massa closed a meeting in Resistencia with leaders from Chaco, Corrientes and Misiones and called for broader Peronist unity. Working groups produced proposals on infrastructure, energy, science, youth employment, housing, education, health, culture and tourism as the movement prepares for 2027.
Mendoza
The party congress failed to reform its charter or disciplinary tribunal and opened another dispute over ten members who ran outside the PJ. One faction says three-year disqualifications are final; the Kirchner wing argues that eight appeals admitted in May suspended their effects.
National
Axel Kicillof and Máximo Kirchner have identified May 2027 as the moment to organize candidacies and competition rules. The discussion depends on a possible suspension of the national primaries and also covers the Buenos Aires succession, the election timetable and other institutional agreements.
Buenos Aires
The national launch of Movimiento Derecho al Futuro, opposition leaders' tours and a September poll revived a strategic debate: whether bringing together rejection of Javier Milei is enough, or whether the opposition must first agree on a common programme, electoral identity and internal rules.
Buenos Aires
The cabinet chief is at the center of talks to assemble a coalition between libertarians and the PRO, with an invitation to the UCR still open. No candidacy has been formalized, and the outcome depends on electoral rules, a provincial agreement and implementation across 135 municipalities.
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
Rising arrears now coexist with constant calls, threats, false documents and contacts directed at relatives or employers. Central Bank data show that people with unpaid debts reached 26.6% in July, while a Buenos Aires City bill proposes time limits, sanctions and specific collection rules.
