Local crises reported in La Dulce and Gómez, Argentina

In La Dulce, Argentina, the Volunteer Firefighters are facing a critical economic crisis due to delays in national government subsidies. Adrián López, head of the active corps, reported that the institution has not received current funds or outstanding balances from 2025. This lack of financing, combined with high inflation, is hindering the maintenance of essential equipment, rising fuel costs, and the ability to purchase necessary safety gear.

Separately, in the Gómez area of Brandsen, residents are reporting significant insecurity in rural sectors. Former delegate Nelly Trucco highlighted a rise in livestock theft involving cattle and horses, describing the region as a “liberated zone” for such crimes. Local citizens have reportedly had to organize their own searches for stolen animals due to a perceived lack of rural police presence.
