Pablo Garate, the Mayor of Tres Arroyos, addressed local governance and potential re-election during a recent interview. Garate stated that discussing a future candidacy is “very premature” and that he intends to focus on resolving local issues rather than an early electoral campaign. He noted that a decision regarding his candidacy will only be made in June 2026, coinciding with the deadline for submitting candidate lists.

Garate also expressed concern regarding recent criminal incidents that have impacted the sense of security within the community.
