The elected governor of Chubut, Ignacio Torres (PRO), announced that he will not be able to pay the bonuses due to the reduction in Profits, and demanded that the president send compensation to the province before the end of his term. “What Massa did was a proselytizing, campaigning measure, without consultation with the provincial states and with the money of the provinces. It costs Chubut approximately two salaries and in this context it is impossible for it to pay the bonus,” he said. Also the elected governor of Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro (UCR) pointed out his concern about the reduction in Profits, which took away more than one wage bill from his province, although in his case he guaranteed that he will “make the effort” and will pay “the bonuses and the month of January.” The governors threw darts against Massawhile they already started complain to Milei that reviews the decline in Profits or provides a measure to offset its losses.
In turn, a few days after leaving office, the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larretacommunicated the creation of a fcountercyclical wave of 350 million dollars to face expenses generated by “extraordinary situations” such as, for example, catastrophes, environmental disasters, social, health and/or economic emergencies. The money contemplated in the countercyclical fund may also be used to finance operating expenses when a variation in tax revenue has been recorded and to pay public debt services if they involve maturities of securities whose term does not exceed 90 days.
