ARTen northern governors in Argentina are meeting in Posadas, Misiones, to discuss common demands with the national government, including a request for differentiated electricity tariffs for 'hot zones' and increased funding for infrastructure projects. The meeting will address concerns related to the El Niño phenomenon, which is expected to bring heavy rains and river flooding to the region starting in September. The governors also plan to push for the automatic transfer of funds collected from the ICL tax to provinces, similar to the coparticipation system. Governor Hugo Passalacqua of Misiones emphasized that his province remains the only one without access to natural gas, relying entirely on electricity. This issue has been a longstanding concern since Cristina Kirchner’s administration promised gas pipeline expansion, but Misiones was excluded from the project. The governors aim to present a proposal for energy tariff adjustments based on climate conditions.
