Ruling for co-participation: the Nation has already accumulated a new debt with the City for some $15,000 million

From the following day, Thursday the 22nd, when the amount of the transfers should begin to be updated, President

, decided not to pay the difference and instead proposed to do so through bonds for 2031, an initiative that the City, protected by the Supreme ruling, he did not even consider.

From then on, an attack by Kirchnerism against the Court began, which

Meanwhile, as Clarín reported exclusively this weekend, a document appeared in which 22 economy ministers from the provinces endorsed an increase in transfers to the City due to the transfer of the Police.
