After the federal Justice ruled in favor of the Chubut government, the first national official to allude to the issue was
Luis Caputo
.
The Minister of Economy criticized Governor Ignacio “Nacho” Torres
indirectly,
by highlighting the only provincial leader who did not show solidarity with Chubut's claim.
“(Osvaldo) Jaldo governs Tucumán, defends his province, is the opposition, and maintains an excellent relationship with the Nation,”
the minister wrote in his X account about the Tucumán governor.
The Peronist leader was the only one who did not sign the document in solidarity with Torres after it became known this Friday that the national government deducted a part of the co-participable funds from Chubut to collect a debt that it maintains with the Nation and that Torres sought to refinance. .
Caputo in turn considered that
“the defense of the interests of the provinces and the good relationship with the Casa Rosada are not incompatible.”
The governor of Tucumán, Osvaldo Jaldo.
Jaldo had been the only governor among the Peronists to adhere to the Omnibus Law project and ask his three deputies to vote in favor of it, at the same time as abandoning the Unión por la Patria interblock in the lower house.
In addition, the minister attached in his message a newspaper article published on the
Contexto
site where Jaldo explains the reasons why he did not show solidarity with Chubut.
The governor maintained that when he adheres to a cause and signs a document he is “committing the people of Tucumán, who is who I represent.”
At the same time, he defended the right of the national government to collect debts.
"The governors who assume the governorships have the responsibility of complying with the rights and obligations of the provinces.
It is not that the provinces cease their duty because they change governors.
There is institutional continuity and we must take charge of the things that must continue to be governed. ", held.

This Tuesday at noon it was learned that Justice ruled in favor of the province of Chubut in the dispute between its governor, Ignacio "Nacho" Torres, with President Javier Milei.
The ruling of the Federal Court of Rawson No. 1, headed by Hugo Sastre, forces the national government to "cease with the retention" of the funds until progress is made "in refinancing the debt."
However, he rejected the province's request for the return of the funds that he stopped receiving.
Government sources confirmed that Casa Rosada will appeal the decision.
"We are analyzing how the presentation will be made and we are continually talking about this matter,"
they stated.
