Pullaro Condemns Argentina's 2026 Budget Over Road Shortfalls and Unpaid Provincial Debts

The Santa Fe governor uses a police fleet handover to intensify pressure for revisions to the national spending plan.

Overview

  • The national 2026 budget cleared the Senate, and Pullaro issued his criticism as the vote proceeded in Buenos Aires.
  • He argued the plan underfunds national road works, saying the nation earmarked about 360 billion pesos for highways—less than Santa Fe plans to spend on its own repairs—and warning of further deterioration.
  • He said his bloc opposed Article 30 because it would strip financing from disability law benefits and public education.
  • He demanded the budget recognize debts owed to provinces, citing Santa Fe’s pension fund obligations and fiscal pact arrears.
  • As senators voted, he delivered 190 Chevrolet Montana patrol vehicles to Rosario’s Unidad Regional II under the security emergency law, framing the handover alongside claims of lower crime.
