Overview

• The Federal Court in San Martín provisionally suspended Decree 461/25 for six months, blocking the dissolution of the Dirección Nacional de Vialidad.
• The national government has appealed the court’s decision as it seeks to implement its broader transport agency reorganization.
• Decree 461/25 would transfer road construction and maintenance duties to the Transport Ministry and a new concessions agency, dissolve the National Road Safety Agency and assign traffic control to the Gendarmería Nacional.
• Union leaders led by Graciela Aleña have mobilized unprecedented public support and are lobbying legislators for formal guarantees to protect the agency and its 5,184 employees.
• Subsecretary Alejandro Cacace defended the decree as a legally authorized cost-saving reform that maintains job security under existing delegated powers.
