The Supreme Court of the Argentine province of Santa Fe ruled 4–3 that a provision limiting the highest pensions to an amount equivalent to 20 minimum pensions was unconstitutional. This decision, stemming from a case brought by retired worker Elena Ramón, also invalidated several articles of Law 14.283 regarding the emergency pension regime and solidarity contributions. The court ordered provincial authorities to adjust the system within 30 days. Following the ruling, Governor Maximiliano Pullaro indicated the government would consider appealing. Subsequently, the Santa Fe Supreme Court suspended procedural deadlines for the provincial government to file an extraordinary appeal with the National Supreme Court. This suspension, signed by Court President Rafael Gutiérrez, remains in effect until the local court rules on a motion for revocation filed by the provincial administration. Judicial deadlines regarding the unconstitutional pension cap remain suspended, providing the provincial government time to address pending local appeals before potentially approaching the National Supreme Court.
