Minister of Economy, Finance, and Treasury Jorge Ibáñez reported that a Supreme Court preliminary hearing regarding these funds was adjourned until November 18. The province alleges that the National Social Security Administration (Anses) has failed to remit required funds since December 2023, a situation Ibáñez claims affects 13 provinces. Formosa is also seeking the release of fuel tax funds intended for water and road infrastructure. Parallel to these legal demands, economic analyses have highlighted divergent spending priorities between the province and the national administration under Javier Milei. Data from the consultancy Politiké indicates that in 2025, Formosa allocated significantly higher percentages of its budget to education, health, and public works compared to the national government. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-31: Formosa and Argentina national government show divergent spending patterns A Politiké report finds that Formosa province is investing significantly more in education, health, and public works than the Argentine national government. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/formosa-and-argentina-national-government-show-divergent-spending-patterns ### 2026-10-21: Formosa demands unpaid social security funds from Argentina Formosa's Economy Minister Jorge Ibáñez is seeking Supreme Court intervention to recover unpaid national funds for social security, water infrastructure, and road projects. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/formosa-demands-unpaid-social-security-funds-from-argentina --- Cite as: Formosa and Argentine government fiscal tensions.
