Overview

  • Governors from six Litoral provinces reconvened in Resistencia, Chaco, to relaunch their alliance aimed at countering perceived inequities in federal resource distribution under President Javier Milei.
  • Leandro Zdero, governor of Chaco, was named president pro tempore of the bloc for the next six months, succeeding Gustavo Valdés of Corrientes.
  • A technical committee on the Paraná-Paraguay waterway was established to coordinate licitations with the National Waterways Agency and address cabotage legislation for improved competitiveness.
  • The bloc agreed to push for a summer energy tariff differential in Congress and continue efforts to expand the natural gas network in northern provinces like Corrientes, Chaco, Formosa, and Misiones.
  • Plans include introducing a unified fishing license, strengthening species preservation measures, and creating a labor observatory to generate regional employment data and training programs.
