Santa Fe political landscape shifts amid election prep and corruption rulings

Political activity in Santa Fe, Argentina, shows movement from both major factions. La Libertad Avanza is organizing across five northern departments, including 9 de Julio, Vera, Gral Obligado, San Javier, and San Justo, to prepare for upcoming elections and the 2027 municipal reforms.

Meanwhile, Peronism remains active through initiatives like Pablo Corsalini’s ‘Escuela de Ciudades’ program, which provides management tools to local governments in cities such as Rosario, Reconquista, and Rafaela.

In legal news, former Ceres mayor Camilo Busquets has been sentenced to 2 years and 10 months in prison and a permanent ban from holding public office. The conviction follows an audit regarding fraud to public administration, abuse of authority, and embezzlement of public funds involving ghost companies and debt concealment.
