The halt in public works and declining private construction have crushed demand for crushed stone. Galasur plans 27 dismissals, Canteras Argentinas proposes wage cuts of up to 50%, and Ana Rita is pursuing about 20 voluntary exits while AOMA challenges the proposed terms.

The San Juan factory acquired in 2017 was operating at 52% of capacity in early 2026 amid falling consumption and higher unit costs. Dismissal notices triggered protests and claims that the first severance proposals were below legal requirements.

Peronists introduced their proposal while Maximiliano Pullaro's coalition remained unable to agree on how to link executive and legislative candidacies.

Córdoba
The December 2025 bill sought to ban informal parking fees and windshield cleaning at traffic lights, while providing penalties for failure to comply with the mandatory vaccination schedule. It would expand police powers and raised Security Minister Juan Pablo Quinteros's profile ahead of 2027.
Buenos Aires
Cristina Kirchner's camp reads the Buenos Aires governor's silence and lack of contact with the former president as a strategy to attract non-Kirchnerist voters. The dispute over primaries and 2027 candidacies is narrowing the room for a truce and pushing Peronism toward a divided contest.
National
The Casa Rosada seeks to turn dialogue with governors into an electoral platform for 2027, with funding, provincial calendars and rule changes as bargaining pieces.

San Juan
The group confirmed offices in the province and is studying sites for an operating facility linked to Vicuña and Los Azules. The move revives its experience in major San Juan projects, but the scale, location and timetable of a future plant remain under evaluation.

Santa Cruz
A review counted ARS44.8938 billion transferred to Santa Cruz from 2024 through June 2026 but could not verify its use or accounting in housing. The dispute intersects with unfinished projects and a bill granting exceptional powers to the Executive.
Santiago del Estero
Foreign sales grew 35.3% year on year in the first four months, above Argentina's 21.5% increase. Primary goods contributed US$194 million, while limited industrial participation and below-average exports per capita expose the challenge of adding value.
