Overview
- The third Supreme Court‑convened hearing ended without a deal, and Governor Axel Kicillof announced on Wednesday that Buenos Aires will end the conciliation phase and file a medida cautelar to compel payment.
- Buenos Aires formally claims between AR$2.2 and AR$2.3 billones in unpaid pension‑transfer obligations that it says have reduced the province’s revenue and hurt payments to retirees.
- Provincial officials said national representatives told the court they needed more technical work and did not present a concrete advance‑payment proposal at the hearing.
- Several other provinces, including Corrientes, Santa Fe and Chubut, have already negotiated advance payments or staged settlements with ANSES, producing uneven outcomes across jurisdictions.
- If the injunction succeeds, it could force interim transfers to the province, ease immediate cash shortfalls for pensioners and widen fiscal and political pressure on the national government during ongoing intergovernmental talks.
