Salta’s Sáenz Unveils Cross-Sector Pact to Press Nation for 2026 Infrastructure Funding

Backed by more than 200 leaders across civic, business, labor, institutional sectors, the governor seeks funding for national works in Salta in the 2026 budget.

Overview

  • The “Pacto Todos por Salta” formalizes a broad coalition to demand the reactivation and financing of provincial infrastructure and its inclusion in the 2026 National Budget.
  • Sáenz warned he is prepared to camp at the Casa Rosada if negotiations stall, stressing that many projects are already tendered or underway but lack national funds.
  • Priority works cited include repairs to RN 51, 40, 50 and 9/34, expansion of rail and road links, and consolidation of the Bioceanic Corridor, with several commitments tied to the Pacto de Güemes.
  • He urged national legislators from every bloc to back the push in Congress, framing the initiative as nonpartisan and focused on long-term development.
  • The pact also demands a new federal revenue-sharing law and equal passenger-transport compensation to narrow gaps with the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, with the province awaiting a response from the Milei administration.
