Santa Fe High Court Delays 2026 Presidency Decision Over Governance Reshuffle

Talks focus on redesigning the court’s Government Secretariat following Eduardo Bordas’s announced exit.

Overview

  • The weekly Acuerdo again postponed naming the 2026 successor to President Roberto Falistocco.
  • Rafael Gutiérrez is viewed as the leading option under the tacit geographic rotation, yet a unanimous vote is not assured.
  • New ministers question the old rotation and back a shift to decentralized management with defined areas and an annual presidential work plan.
  • Governor Maximiliano Pullaro presses for generational renewal that includes judges over 75, a debate that has added strain even as cooperation advanced on budgets, infrastructure and dozens of judicial appointments.
  • The court now has seven members with the additions of Jorge Baclini, Margarita Zabalza and Rubén Weder, and Eduardo Spuler is expected to retire in September 2026.
