Mendoza provincial personnel reforms

Entities: Mendoza Province · Escuela Artística Francisco Solano · Mercedes Rus · Escuela Artística Blanca Notti · Marcelo Calipo

Overview

In late July 2026, the Mendoza provincial government issued Decree 624/2026, appointing a new Secretary of Government while requiring the appointee to suspend her national pension benefits—a stipulation that drew criticism for its inconsistency with other officials’ treatment. The same set of decrees also created advisory posts, one filled by former legislator Flavia Dalmau, sparking debate over post‑appointment compensation.

A week later, the administration moved to tighten disciplinary standards, dismissing two school custodians for repeated unjustified absences and amending Decree 1199 to clarify promotion criteria within the Mendoza Police. The amendment retroactively applied new service‑time requirements, aiming to regularize future promotions and address earlier procedural ambiguities.
