While Javier Milei intensifies his criticism of the governors whom he accuses of being "traitors"
for the
failure of the Omnibus Law
and advances in the elimination of trust funds and subsidies, some provincial leaders are trying to build bridges with a sector of the Government.
"They want solutions," they explain in the environment of the Salta executive
Gustavo Sáenz
, who organizes a meeting with some of his peers and the Minister of the Interior
Guillermo Francos
.
The governor of Salta
, who had been one of the first to meet with the head of state before his inauguration, was one of those most targeted by Milei, who - in retaliation for the vote of his deputies - decided to fire the Secretary of Mining ,
Flavia Royón
, native of the northern province.
On Thursday, before exploring a truce, Sáenz strained the bond by answering the President's accusations.
“
We are not going to kneel before anyone, ever.
Alone before God.
(…) There are no traitors or liars here.
There are good men here who are
paying the consequences of many who got rich and took their money elsewhere.
"Persecute them, look for them," the governor fired at the inauguration of the ring road in the northwest of the provincial capital.
In his speech - broadcast by leaders of the Renovador Front - the president complained about the asymmetries in the price of transportation and the lack of public works.
Hours in the Salta government recognized that they accelerate
Despite public anger and the fact that his province has received $17 billion less
so far this year than in 2023,
Sergio Massa
's former candidate for vice president
in 2015 is promoting a
new bridge with the national Executive
and northern governors for this Tuesday.
Sáenz organizes a meeting in his province with the Minister of the Interior in which they will talk about management, but which seeks above all to put a cold shoulder in the negotiation with the government for the future.
His peers from Catamarca,
Raúl Jalil
;
and from Misiones,
Hugo Passalacqua
;
They have already confirmed his presence at a meeting after the commemoration of the Battle of Salta in 1813. It will be
Francos' first visit to a province
since his inauguration.

"We are not going to kneel."
Gustavo Sáenz responded to Javier Milei.
“There will be
more stability
and it will be easier to lower inflation
if there is an agreement between the government and the governors ,”
Jalil
, from Catamarca ,
told
Clarín
, the first to guarantee his presence.
In addition to
Passalacqua, the presence of
Osvaldo Jaldo
is expected
.
The first had been pointed out in networks by Executive officials, although he was later separated by official spokespersons from the
group of traitors
led by
Maximiliano Pullaro (Santa Fe), Martín Llaryora and Carlos Sadir (Jujuy)
.
Jaldo, on the other hand, is in complete harmony: he ordered his three deputies to
abandon the Unión por la Patria bloc
to create a new one: Independence.
In exchange, the Government promised that withholdings on the lemon industry will not be increased nor will the sugar regime be eliminated.
Among the rest of the northern governors who negotiated together during Alberto Fernández's government there are differences.
Ricardo Quintela
from Rioja
is the most furious critic of Milei's management and turned to the Supreme Court to overturn the Mega-DNU of deregulation of the economy.
His bond seems irreversible and no one expects him in Salta.
The same would happen with
Gildo Insfrán
from Formosa , who does not rule out competing with the presidency of the PJ that Albero Fernández still holds.
The case of Gerardo Zamora
from Santiago could be different
, who had zigzagging gestures with the ruling party in Congress and who coincided with Milei in the canonization of Mama Antula.
The provincial leaders of the north regretted the shipwreck of the omnibus law.
Above all due to the changes linked to the
mining
regime .
That is why they are pushing the possibility of the Government dividing it into chapters to discuss it in ordinary sessions.
Several of them regret that the President's mistreatment of the governors hinders the relationship and complain because the President does not take note that the deputies no longer respond with the verticality of other times;
not even those who were part of the libertarian bloc.
“
Lowering inflation must be the national and provincial priority and for that we must lower the fiscal, quasi-fiscal deficit and eliminate emissions
,” said Jalil, who requested a meeting with the President.
Among the provincial leaders of the north - where Peronism concentrated a good part of its electoral strategy - they take note that their electorate remains aligned - for now - with Milei's predicament.
The radical governors
Gustavo Valdés
, from Corrientes;
and
Leandro Zdero
, from Chaco;
They could also join the party with Francos.
The first could have a one-on-one with Milei hours before, when the President leads his
first trip to a province
to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Club Libertad de Corrientes.
Valdés has already been invited by the club authorities and those around him do not rule out that the governor may receive him.
Zdero, Corriente's political godson, visited the Casa Rosada on Wednesday in an event shared with Patricia Bullrich just as Milei redoubles his criticism against the head of the UCR Martín Lousteau.
The Minister of Security will visit Salta between Sunday and Monday to visit the Gendarmerie deployment on the Aguas Blancas border and visit the federal courts of Oran and the Federal Police delegations in that city.
The overlapping of trips
confused some of the governors
who assumed that Bullrich would join the meeting with Francos - whom they value - a detail that they were quick to deny in Security, where they make it clear that
there is no political harmony with the Minister of the Interior
.
