Catamarca
Raúl Jalil and Ignacio Lamothe signed a technical and financial assistance agreement with four pillars: independent environmental studies, stronger scientific capacity at CEDECITCA, youth job training and review of provincial tax policy. An addendum will also expand cultural-industry programs through the end of 2026.
Entre Ríos
The mayor of San José joined Bahillo, Lauritto, Casaretto and Cresto in the race for governor but prioritizes a unity ticket. If PASO primaries are unavailable, he proposes party elections. His platform combines renewal, energy, roads, public works and defense of provincial resources.
National
The President is convening his political table before attending the November 4–5 Ibero-American Summit. The week combines education, ties with Israel and the United States, preparations for Leo XIV's visit, agreements with Neuquén and meetings with the UIA and the energy sector.
Catamarca
The governor will send a bill encouraging voluntary transfers from public employment to private companies, although conditions remain undisclosed. The opposition warns of disguised dismissals, while deterioration on routes 38 and 157 and demands for more local mining value expose limits in Catamarca's labor market.
Autonomous City of Buenos Aires
The governor led the second day of the city's Productive Congress at Teatro Astros and projected a national alternative to Milei. The presence of groups linked to Olmos and Grabois, La Cámpora's absence and the MDF's weak local roots exposed the limits of the project.
Misiones
The former Campo Viera mayor will present the first elements of his 2027 gubernatorial bid in Posadas. After being excluded from the Peronist internal process, he proposes shifting resources to municipalities, professionalizing local teams, expanding participation and opening his platform to social and productive sectors.
Santa Cruz
Rafael Güenchenen's leadership faces Governor Claudio Vidal, criticism from self-organized workers and reports—without an official resolution—of talks to intervene in the union. YPF's withdrawal, an estimated 8,000 regional job losses and mixed production results deepen the conflict.
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.
National
INDEC estimated 3.4% unemployment in the Jujuy-Palpalá area, but also counted 30,000 employed people seeking another job and 11,000 underemployed workers. Social organizations argue that the headline rate does not capture precarious jobs, lower income and lack of coverage across broad sectors.
Buenos Aires
The Buenos Aires governor completed a twelve-hour visit, signed agreements on security, productive development and agriculture, and toured technology and yerba mate institutions. His meeting with Hugo Passalacqua added a new image to Kicillof's federal outreach and revealed shared criticism of national economic policy.
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.
Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands
The mayor of Ushuaia published an open letter about the labor dispute and argued that the company's growth was enabled by industrial incentives and workers in Tierra del Fuego. He called for the layoffs to be reversed, but the selected information contains no company response.
Río Negro
The agreement with the national government provides for a transfer for 20 years and a gradual incorporation of sections. The first stage plans to intervene 305 kilometers with up to USD 60 million, but it requires legislative approval, operational agreements, and actual financing.
Chaco
The mission will run from September 30 to October 2 and bring together officials, more than ten governors and business leaders. Zdero announced an export and production agenda but has not yet identified bilateral meetings, projects or concrete investment commitments.
Buenos Aires
The debate over the Super RIGI reached the point that most concerns industrial chambers and SMEs: what a major investment benefited for decades by the State leaves in the Argentine economy. Ariel Aguilar, Buenos Aires province's Undersecretary for Commercial Development and Investment Promotion, said the project has “zero requirement for local productive development.” The argument exposes a deeper discussion about the country model.
Chaco
The governor joined producers and rural leaders at the institutional anniversary. He called the sector a strategic ally, reviewed tax and financing measures adopted by his administration, and received backing from Sociedad Rural Argentina president Nicolás Pino.
