The province of Jujuy has undergone significant institutional developments involving both judicial reform and legislative oversight.

Following the 2023 constitutional reform, the province inaugurated its Council of the Magistracy, a permanent and autonomous body. Led by President Mariano Miranda, the Council consists of thirty-four members tasked with selecting judges, prosecutors, and defenders through public competitions to increase transparency in judicial appointments.

Concurrently, the Jujuy Legislature has initiated an investigation into the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Carlos Federico Posadas. Following a session involving 45 deputies, the legislature referred a transcript of Posadas’s interpellation to the prosecutor’s office. The referral follows allegations regarding financial inconsistencies in festival earnings, public contract irregularities, and payments made to the minister’s wife.
