Demand

In their debut as a new pole of power, the ten acting and elected governors of Together for Change (JxC) will make a presentation against the Government before the Supreme Court due to the strong cut that their provinces have suffered in shared resources since it was implemented. the “Buy without VAT” program and the elimination of the Income Tax, two initiatives that the ruling presidential candidate Sergio Massa turned into his electoral banner.

In principle, the presentation will be carried out by two of the acting governors, the radicals Rodolfo Suárez (Mendoza) and Gustavo Valdés (Corrientes). Then the remaining seven leaders will join, when they assume their duties on December 10. The governor of Jujuy and president of the UCR, Gerardo Morales, who is internally opposed to Valdés and the elected president of Mendoza, Alfredo Cornejo, would not be part of the game. Although Morales had given them his endorsement when they discussed this issue the week after the October elections, he would ultimately delegate the decision to his successor, Carlos Sadir, once he takes the reins of the province next month. “Given this reduction that Sergio Massa made to the co-participation of all the provinces, we are preparing, together with Mendoza, demands that we are going to present to the Court to restore those funds that cannot unilaterally affect the Nation,” Governor Valdés anticipated to LN+–. They are both national and provincial resources; Therefore, we are going to claim our rights.”
