Overview

• At a Jujuy summit two weeks before the midterms, governors from Córdoba, Santa Fe, Corrientes, Chubut and Jujuy convened with Juan Schiaretti in a bid to elevate Provincias Unidas nationally.
• Carlos Sadir said the group will not vote the 2026 national budget a libro cerrado and demanded an open debate on how resources are distributed between the Nation and provinces.
• Schiaretti used his speech to sharply criticize the national economic program and stated that the space aims to present itself as an option to govern in 2027.
• The itinerary featured tours of the El Pongo solar park and the Perico Free Trade Zone, followed by meetings with mining entrepreneurs on energy, infrastructure and interprovincial cooperation.
• Organizers noted the Jujuy event follows meetings in Río Cuarto and Puerto Madryn, with a next summit set for October 15 in Buenos Aires, as internal sources say a post-election congressional bloc of roughly 25 deputies is being explored.
