Overview
- Governor Ignacio Torres says the claim seeks 51,000 million pesos for Chubut’s provincial pension fund, a shortfall the province traces to obligations pending since 2017 and quantified by ANSES.
- The filing will be presented through Chubut’s Fiscalía de Estado, targeting what the province describes as repeated nonpayment by the national government.
- Facing cash strain, the provincial government issued roughly 60,000 million pesos in short‑term notes to pay salaries and the half‑year bonus, prompting protests and extended bank hours for retirees.
- Following a meeting with Interior Minister Diego Santilli, Chubut will begin a joint audit of the pension debt while keeping the Supreme Court case on track.
- The conflict follows the 2024 suspension of ANSES transfers to non‑transferred provincial funds; some provinces later secured partial payments, including Córdoba, Entre Ríos, Chaco and La Pampa, while others weigh further legal action.
