In chorus, whether grouped by region, by electoral alliance or with solo messages, all the country's governors came out to support Ignacio "Nacho" Torres de Chubut. The silence of the Peronist Osvaldo Jaldo, from Tucumán, who did not speak out on the conflict, is stunning.

The fight between the governors and the Milei government had several chapters but on Friday it escalated with Torres' fiery speech at an event in Comodoro Rivadavia. "We give the national government time until Wednesday. If they don't get the paw off of us on Wednesday," Torres said.
