Buenos Aires province decentralization proposal

Overview

Essayist Luis Gotte and former national deputy Miguel Saredi have introduced a proposal to decentralize the political, economic, and administrative power of the Buenos Aires province. Through their book, ‘Junín, Capital de los Bonaerenses’, the authors argue against the current concentration of authority in La Plata and the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires.

The proposal suggests establishing a ‘Trident of Regional Development’. In this model, Junín would serve as the political, administrative, and logistical center, specifically hosting ministries such as Energy, Transport, Production, and Agrarian Affairs. This shift aims to encourage migration toward the interior by improving job opportunities and municipal autonomy.

Under the suggested reorganization, other cities would take on specialized roles: Tandil would function as a scientific and technological hub, Bahía Blanca would serve as an energy and industrial node, and La Plata would transition into a specialized educational and cultural center.
