Milei Sends ARS 12.5 Billion in Discretionary ATN Funds to Four Provinces on Day of Veto

The targeted disbursements signal an effort to court governors before veto showdowns in Congress.

Overview

  • Misiones received ARS 4,000 million, Entre Ríos ARS 3,000 million, Santa Fe ARS 3,000 million and Chaco ARS 2,500 million, according to Politikon Chaco and provincial sources.
  • The payments were executed Friday, coinciding with publication of the presidential veto of the law that would have made these transfers automatic.
  • Entre Ríos and Chaco, which sealed electoral alliances with La Libertad Avanza, met days earlier with Guillermo Francos, Luis Caputo and Lisandro Catalán in the revived Mesa Federal.
  • The government has not publicly detailed the specific emergencies cited for the transfers; one outlet listed province-by-province reasons that others have not corroborated, while Santa Fe linked its request to late‑August flooding.
  • The new disbursements far exceed August’s ARS 3,000 million total and arrive as Congress prepares votes on key presidential vetos and the disputed distribution rules.
