The text presents a situation of political and economic confrontation in Argentina, centered on the President's decision not to send more funds for teachers' salaries and transportation, which has generated harsh criticism and tensions with governors and local officials.

Javier Milei leads a movement to redistribute the economic adjustment among all jurisdictions, seeking to reduce budgets, public employees and fund transfers. This policy has provoked a conflict with most politicians, who oppose the cuts and fight to maintain their resources.

Governors, in particular, are resisting the adjustment plan, having succeeded in stopping the "Omnibus Law" earlier. Milei has responded with measures such as the elimination of transportation subsidies and education funds, which has forced the governors to face the consequences and seek solutions.

In the absence of progress in negotiations with the central government, some governors have opted to take their claims to court, while others are trying to maintain an open dialogue to avoid an irreversible breakdown. However, the resolution of these disputes could take time, since the Supreme Court has no definite deadlines to rule on the cases presented.

The confrontation between Milei and the Governor of Córdoba, Martín Llaryora, has generated significant tensions. Llaryora is accused of leading the rebellion against certain aspects of the "Omnibus Law" and of requesting the equitable distribution of the PAÍS Tax, which Milei rejected. Despite the accusations, Llaryora expressed willingness to dialogue with the central government.

The UCR and PRO governors also plan to discuss strategies to face the situation generated by Milei, seeking consensus and possible legal actions. On the other hand, the mayors of the interior have met to demand the government to revert the decision of not sending resources to subsidize bus fares, considering judicial and legislative options.

The Congress, on the other hand, has already finished its activities after facing the controversy of the "chainsaw plan".
