La Pampa’s Ziliotto Rejects Support for 2026 Budget in Casa Rosada Meeting

A Supreme Court hearing next week on La Pampa’s pension deficit claim looms ahead of extraordinary sessions on the national budget.

Overview

  • Governor Sergio Ziliotto met Interior Minister Diego Santilli and Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni and reiterated that he will not back the national 2026 spending plan.
  • He pressed for settlement of what the province quantifies as more than 400 billion pesos in national obligations, largely tied to the provincial pension fund deficit.
  • Provincial officials detail 345 billion pesos for pensions and a total of about 460 billion pesos when adding halted public works, equipment payments, and the teacher incentive fund.
  • Ziliotto said he delivered a debt breakdown and is awaiting a prompt response from the national government to begin reducing the liabilities.
  • He withheld positions on labor and tax reforms, citing lack of access to drafts, as the government tallies 18 governor meetings and prepares for a December 10 court hearing and legislative start.
