Pablo Santín Re-Elected to Lead UTHGRA Mar del Plata After Record Turnout

Santín links his local mandate to Barrionuevo’s national leadership by pledging a four-year drive against informality.

Overview

  • UTHGRA Mar del Plata confirmed Santín’s re-election on December 30 following participation by 7,866 affiliated voters, described by the union as a record local turnout.
  • The local ballot featured a single list headed by Santín, whose leadership was renewed in the union’s nationwide electoral cycle held on December 29.
  • Voting logistics included 158 ballot boxes across the city, with 10 at the Centro de Formación Laboral N°405 (8–18) and 148 placed in hotels and restaurants for on-site voting (10–16), plus more than 50 cars to transport table presidents.
  • The Junta Electoral highlighted an orderly and transparent process requiring DNI and union membership cards, and a recent labor appeals court ruling affirmed the vote’s validity across Argentina.
  • Post-vote, Santín said he will serve as a member of Luis Barrionuevo’s national slate and outlined priorities that center on protecting workers’ rights and reducing informality over the next four years.
