After weeks of tensions, mainly due to the stopping of the Omnibus Law and the removal of transportation subsidies, the Government seeks to resume dialogue with governors, at least with some of them. Yesterday, President Javier Milei held a brief meeting with Corrientes President Gustavo Valdés , during his visit to the province to participate in a meeting of a libertarian club. Although it was not a formal or extensive meeting, it was a gesture from the head of state, which can be read as a first step towards a new link with the provinces.
To this gesture will be added today the trip that the Minister of the Interior, Guillermo Francos, will make to Salta, where he will meet with the governor of that province, Gustavo Sáenz. That meeting is not minor: the Salta legislators who respond to the president voted against the delegation of powers, one of the central points of the project that was truncated in Congress. The almost immediate consequence of this position was the President's request for the resignation of the Secretary of Mining, Flavia Royón , who responds politically to the governor of Salta.
In this context, added to Milei's confrontation with the leaders Martín Llaryora (Córdoba) and Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe), Francos will attend the celebration for the 211 years of the Battle of Salta and, later, will hold a meeting with Sáenz and others governors who will participate in the meeting.
As Infobae learned , among those attending will be the Peronist leader of Catamarca, Raúl Jalil , and the missionary Hugo Passalaqua . The governor of Jujuy, Carlos Sadir, one of the radicals targeted for the failure of the law, will not be part of the meeting because he will not be in his province. However, he has decided to send his chief of staff or the lieutenant governor.
Last week, during an event for the inauguration of the new northwest ring road in the city of Salta, Governor Sáenz was very harsh in his words and sent a clear message to the national government , after the repeated attacks by Milei and the advance of the Casa Rosada against the provinces, from which it removed the transportation subsidy, stopped public works, eliminated discretionary transfers and canceled the transfer of funds to the Teacher Incentive Fund.
“We are not going to kneel before anyone. Only before God and the Virgin of the Miracle. There are no traitors or liars here ,” was the president's sentence, which emphasized the consequences of Milei's economic policy and the crisis situation experienced throughout the country. “Retirees are having a hard time. “They don't have enough money for medicine or food,” he explained.
Sáenz assured that there are “injustices and asymmetries with northern Argentina” and that “the people are paying for all the adjustment.” In that sense, he took the side of the state teachers and criticized the Government for stopping the transfers of the Teacher Incentive Fund. “We are going to defend the teachers and their fight,” he explained.
The next day, the Government confirmed the decision not to send more funds. “We have no obligation to transfer those funds ,” said presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni. Milei, almost at the same time and in a radio interview, stated that he will not convene a national teachers' joint meeting, but that the Government will intervene as a mediator. Two negative messages for teaching unions.

Saénz also complained about the removal of transportation subsidies and the increase in rates ordered by the President. “Transportation subsidies were always distributed unequally. We pay three times more for electricity and gas. How are the industries going to come and settle in northern Argentina? ”He asked himself.
At the beginning of the year, the governor of Salta supported the formation of the Federal Innovation bloc in the Chamber of Deputies together with the governors of Neuquén, Río Negro and Misiones. That block, led by Pamela Caletti from Salta, is under the umbrella of the dialogue opposition but, after the fall of the Omnibus Law, it was identified as a space of traitors who did not support the change proposed by the ruling party.
Sáenz wanted to form that bloc in order to play politically further away from the Peronist governors, with whom he had articulated during the government of Alberto Fernández. At the beginning of the new national administration, the idea of the Salteño was to show his support for the Government in an institutional framework. That good harmony was broken when Milei asked Royón to resign and the relationship froze on bad terms.
That is why the arrival of Francos to Salta, which was an invitation from Sáenz, is an important gesture by the Government to thaw the relationship, resume dialogue and try to rebuild the relationship in a short period of time. As explained in the Ministry of the Interior, for Francos “the dialogue was never cut off” and his desire is to maintain an active relationship with all the leaders at a time of crisis in the country.

Furthermore, the meeting will take place after several consecutive attacks by Milei against the governors of different political parties whom, in the middle of his confrontation with the singer Lali Espósito, he called to “stop doing benefit recitals and pay the teachers ”.
“What happened is wonderful, that's why I gave the order to lower the law, because I made it clear who the caste, the corrupt, the filth of politics are, who are the ones who ruin the lives of Argentines,” Milei explained. days ago and during a radio interview, regarding the fall of the Omnibus Law. There she pointed, through the vote of the legislators, against the governors.
Regarding the removal of subsidies from transportation companies in the interior, strongly rejected by the governors , Milei explained that this measure seeks to “ make clear the waste and corruption that exists in the different provinces.” The war with the leaders is still alive. Some governors, such as the new public enemy Martín Llaryora or Rogelio Frigerio from Entre Ríos, asked to “lower the decibels and resume dialogue.” Francos' visit will try to be a gesture of detente amid so much crossfire.
Yesterday, Milei visited a province in the interior of the country for the first time since taking over as head of the Casa Rosada. The national leader traveled to the city of Corrientes to participate in an event for the tenth anniversary of the Club de la Libertad foundation and took the opportunity to exchange a few words with Governor Valdés . There, he defended his current management and criticized Congress, which he described as “a nest of rats” after the fall of the Omnibus Law.
