Misiones deputies rebel against Carlos Rovira: they denounce that he made them sign the resignation before taking office

In Misiones province, at least 16 out of 21 provincial legislators from the ruling party have recently rebelled against Carlos Rovira, who has controlled the province for nearly 25 years. Rovira last attended legislative sessions on July 2nd before leaving for abroad, missing the final two sessions before the recess started on July 20th. During his tenure, he dominated the legislative agenda, turning the legislature into an extension of his authority, according to opponents. With the legislature entering a recess on July 20th, there is anticipation that by August 13th, when sessions resume, Rovira will have little influence, with only a few loyalists remaining. The power struggle involves Governor Hugo Passalacqua, whose faction is gaining support, and Rovira, who is increasingly isolated. Rovira, now a regular deputy since December 2023, has lost influence over six deputies who once supported him. A new bloc led by Passalacqua is expected to form, signaling a potential shift in political dynamics.

Missions eliminated withholdings on virtual wallets and bank transfers

The Province of Misiones, under Governor Hugo Passalacqua, has removed retention taxes on virtual wallet credits and bank transfers received by small contributors classified up to category D of the Monotribute system. This decision aims to ease the tax burden on entrepreneurs, independent workers, and small producers, allowing them to access their full earnings to sustain economic activity. The measure is part of broader fiscal relief policies aimed at adapting the provincial tax system to new payment methods and simplifying tax procedures. Passalacqua emphasized his commitment to restoring the authority of the National Institute of Yerba Mate (INYM).
