Fernando Espinoza re-elected to lead Argentine Federation of Municipalities

During the Assembly of the Argentine Federation of Municipalities (FAM) in Buenos Aires, Fernando Espinoza was re-elected as the head of the organization. The assembly brought together more than 500 mayors from across the country.

In a unified document, the municipal leaders demanded an urgent meeting with President Javier Milei to request a correction of the nation's economic course. The mayors expressed deep concern regarding the impact of current national policies on employment, production, health, education, security, and regional economies.

Specific demands include the restitution of educational funds, the reactivation of public works, and increased investment in social assistance and disability services. The FAM warned that municipalities have become the “first barrier of containment” for citizens facing deteriorating living conditions due to the loss of resources for provinces and the decline in consumption.
