Municipal administrations in Mexico and Argentina are managing various fiscal and accountability challenges. In Jerez, Mexico, Mayor Rodrigo Ureño Bañuelos reported efforts to stabilize municipal finances by reducing debt owed to the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) from 58 million pesos to 24 million pesos.

In Argentina, Mayor María José Gentile presented a management report covering infrastructure and education, but the Provincial Court of Accounts identified several irregularities in the 2025 accountability report. These issues included a bank overdraft, undocumented funds, and debt to electric cooperatives totaling approximately 498.6 million pesos. Consequently, the local Deliberative Council disapproved the accounts, citing a deficit of approximately 2.4 billion pesos.
