Overview
- In a televised interview on TN, Gustavo Sáenz and Fernando Iglesias argued over whether Salta and other provinces have sustained support for President Javier Milei’s agenda.
- Iglesias said support from governors shifted in June and accused many deputies of voting against the government’s fiscal program, blaming provincial spending on state jobs.
- Sáenz countered that national transfer cuts forced provinces to absorb costs such as teacher incentives and medicines, calling the issue one of federal respect rather than party labels.
- In a separate interview, Sáenz said governors met their side of initial agreements but that first‑stage commitments from the national government remain outstanding and he criticized local libertarian leaders for mistreatment and attacks.
- Sáenz urged federal investment to unlock northern Argentina’s mineral potential and, with the national budget under debate and Diego Santilli newly named interior minister, he signaled governors will gauge whether dialogue improves.
