Candelaria de la Sota launched the audiovisual project “Tomar la posta” in Buenos Aires before national and Córdoba political figures, with Martín Llaryora attending.

Formosa
Lawyer Gabriela Neme challenged a court decision preventing her from publishing material about Ian, an 11-year-old child under protection-system intervention, and announced an appeal. The case places the child's privacy against his mother's claims, unproven allegations and defence rights.
La Rioja
Lucas de la Fuente said the organisation is developing proposals with legal advice to protect indebted people from late-night calls, repeated messages and contacts with relatives or employers. The initiative is still being drafted and seeks to regulate abusive practices without blocking legitimate collection or denying existing obligations.
Río Negro
Fugro and Bluewater worked on the Vaca Muerta Oil Sur export system in Río Negro and later appeared among companies under review for Sea Lion-related activity. The government must still decide whether sanctions apply, how contract chronology should be assessed and what the consequences would be for specialised suppliers.
San Luis
The union filed an unconstitutionality action against Decree 1592-ME-2026 and sought an injunction suspending the mechanism.

Corrientes
The Corrientes provincial senator and former governor warned that lawmakers aligned with the Norte Grande provinces would withhold support for government initiatives until a hot-zone tariff moves forward. The dispute combines electricity costs, regional coordination and congressional bargaining.

Buenos Aires
The Buenos Aires governor brought together business owners, industry chambers and unions to challenge the national economic programme. Verónica Magario pointed to high costs, imports and falling consumption, while Augusto Costa reported 1,597 company closures and more than 46,000 industrial jobs lost.
Misiones
The new caucus brings together nine deputies from Misiones, Salta, San Luis and Formosa and will be chaired by Oscar Herrera Ahuad. Its members plan to coordinate positions and negotiate resources and public works without adopting systematic opposition to the national government.
Santa Cruz
Claudio Vidal's government announced footwear for primary, secondary and special-education students. An editorial analysis linked the program to clientelist practices and called for structural policies, an interpretation that must be distinguished from the confirmed assistance initiative.
