Overview
- The municipal administration issued Decreto Serie A N.º EX-2026-00164775-LABANDA-DME#SG to convert 214 contracted employees to planta permanente and published the full beneficiary list in the official expediente.
- The measure was initiated by Secretary of Government Ana Victoria Torres and signed by Mayor Roger Nediani, who had announced the incorporations earlier in his June 26 speech to the Concejo Deliberante.
- Inclusion required more than five years of municipal service calculated as of June 30, 2026, and that seniority rule determined the final nómina of beneficiaries.
- Municipal reports from the Dirección de Personal and the Secretaría de Economía y Finanzas state the positions were foreseen in the 2026 budget under Ordenanza N.º 2026-1, and the formalization occurred during the transition after the August 2 municipal election.
- Local media and opposition figures have sharply criticized the timing and scale of the action, while affected workers gain job stability and the move could reshape La Banda’s payroll and political disputes during the incoming administration of Llamil Abdala.
