Overview

  • Five thematic commissions produced 105 dictámenes in five days, including 36 by majority, after public hearings and consultations with specialists across the province.
  • The Comisión Redactora will begin sessions Monday to translate those opinions into draft constitutional articles for consideration by the full convention.
  • A declaration from universities, research institutes and the provincial architecture college praised advances such as constitutional recognition of territorial planning and metropolitan areas and endorsed recovering plusvalías to fund infrastructure.
  • A signed dictamen includes a clause that would allow Governor Maximiliano Pullaro to seek re-election, with three Peronist senators among the signatories, a move drawing political scrutiny.
  • Debates have exposed tensions, including Peronist walkouts, opposition from La Libertad Avanza and organizational strains within Unidos, as the province undertakes its first major rewrite in about 63 years.
