Pullaro stated he will not run for the presidency of Argentina, citing the violent nature of national political debates, though he has not yet decided on a reelection bid for governor. He expressed concerns regarding the national government’s focus, noting that while macroeconomic stability has been achieved, the needs of interior provinces—specifically tax adjustments for the textile and footwear industries—have been overlooked. In the province of Santa Fe, manufacturing production saw a decline in the first half of 2026, though Pullaro attributed lower job losses to provincial measures such as subsidized credit lines and energy tax discounts. Following these statements, Pullaro met with former President Eduardo Duhalde in the provincial capital to discuss Argentina’s political and institutional situation. During the meeting, Pullaro compared Duhalde’s leadership to that of Raúl Alfonsín, highlighting the importance of defending democratic institutions during critical periods. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-05: Maximiliano Pullaro meets former President Eduardo Duhalde in Santa Fe Santa Fe Governor Maximiliano Pullaro met with former President Eduardo Duhalde to discuss Argentina's political reality and the importance of defending democratic institutions. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/maximiliano-pullaro-meets-former-president-eduardo-duhalde-in-santa-fe ### 2026-09-03: Maximiliano Pullaro rules out presidential bid and addresses economic concerns Santa Fe Governor Maximiliano Pullaro ruled out a presidential bid and expressed uncertainty regarding reelection, while calling for better national support for provincial industries. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/maximiliano-pullaro-rules-out-presidential-bid-and-addresses-economic-concerns --- Cite as: Santa Fe Governor Maximiliano Pullaro political activities.
