Overview

• Federal Police stopped Gustavo Sáenz and supporters from setting up a camp outside the Casa Rosada during his public works protest.
• Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos, joined by advisor Santiago Caputo, met Sáenz on site and pledged to resume substantive talks after the October 26 elections.
• No funding disbursements or restarts of works were announced, and the governor said he sought implementation rather than a photo opportunity.
• Sáenz pressed for inclusion in the 2026 national budget of previously committed projects, including national routes 51, 40, 50 and 9/34, the Vaqueros bridge, aqueducts, gas pipelines and Corredor Bioceánico infrastructure.
• Framing the action as a stand against centralism, he staged a gaucho‑themed demonstration that coincided with President Javier Milei’s arena event in Buenos Aires.
