Overview

• Gustavo Sáenz set up a public demonstration in Plaza de Mayo to press the national government to resume promised infrastructure works for Salta, invoking the line, “I don’t want to eat milanesas with Milei, I want the works done.”
• He attempted a guitar-led protest and planned an encampment, but the Federal Police blocked the overnight camp while allowing a brief guitarreada that featured a surprise appearance by singer Facundo Saravia.
• The governor said he supports the government’s drive for fiscal balance yet accused national officials of political ineptitude and dishonesty, adding that Salta’s routes lag far behind those in Buenos Aires.
• He cited bureaucratic buck‑passing between Vialidad, Economy, and Transport, noted contracts signed in June 2024 and ratified in March, and spotlighted the halted work on Route 9/34.
• Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos came down to the plaza after seeing the protest on TV, greeted Sáenz, and called for working together, saying deeper talks would be easier after the election.
