Rosario Becomes Autonomous City After Javkin Signs Ordinance

The change delivers immediate local control over core city functions with new fiscal leeway.

Overview

  • The declaration follows a recent Santa Fe constitutional reform and a unanimous vote by the Rosario city council.
  • With publication in the official gazette, new powers take effect over urban trees, vacant lots and the disposition of impounded vehicles.
  • The municipality can incur debt up to 8.33% of annual revenues without provincial authorization to accelerate public works.
  • Procurement will shift to electronic bidding with agile purchases and public auctions, and municipal wage talks move to a stand‑alone local bargaining process.
  • A 2027 Constituent Convention will be elected to draft the city's Carta Orgánica, setting the long-term institutional framework.
