Santa Fe
Peronists introduced their proposal while Maximiliano Pullaro's coalition remained unable to agree on how to link executive and legislative candidacies. The bill keeps five separate single ballots, retains the primaries, sets electoral thresholds and would remove lawmakers who abandon the alliance that elected them.
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.
World
Xi Jinping defended Brazil's sovereignty and rejected external interference in a conversation with Lula. The statement followed Javier Milei's attacks in São Paulo and connected the Argentine-Brazilian crisis with political, trade and technological coordination between Beijing and Brasília.
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. At the same time, Victoria Villarruel and Patricia Bullrich are developing profiles of their own within a governing coalition already debating its future.
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.
San Luis
Ital Vinil presented a US$2.5 million expansion to direct its pipe business toward oil and mining, while Carin Puntana already sells plastic products in 16 countries. The projects show different paths of industrial renewal and create new energy and infrastructure requirements.
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.
Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands
The industrial subregime counted 6,570 direct jobs in June, 32.5% fewer than a year earlier. Electronics added 139 positions and raised output 12% from May, but production remains 44% below the same month of 2025.
Mendoza
Provincial revenue fell 2.2% in the first half despite signs of economic recovery. Agriculture, energy and mining are advancing while commerce, industry and construction retreat; that mix reduces tax collection and forces Alfredo Cornejo's government to plan with tighter resources.
Neuquén
Neuquén city added more than 60,000 square meters of construction in the first quarter, while sector employers grew 9.2%. Añelo shows the other side of the boom: workers and projects arrive faster than housing, services and urban infrastructure expand.
Río Negro
Luis Caputo authorized a US$60 million IDB loan to integrate Río Negro's 36 hospitals and 191 primary care centers. Alberto Weretilneck also received an expected timetable for a second US$85 million loan for irrigation, rural electrification and emergency prevention.
Salta
The 2026 Salta Mining Summit identified roads, energy, connectivity, water and technical training as conditions for lithium, copper and gold to generate local activity. Companies, government and communities must also reduce delays, provide verifiable information and prepare workers before production starts.
Santa Fe
APYME Santa Fe described a chain in which high rates, falling consumption and the debt of businesses and families reinforce one another. The organization is calling for long-term financing and warns that account seizures can interrupt wages, payments and production.
Santiago del Estero
The provincial revenue agency recorded 3,661 plans covering more than ARS4.631 billion. Almost half the operations were settled in cash, but the breakdown reveals two different realities: vehicle tax leads in participation, while rural property tax carries the largest monetary volume.
