Frigerio Was the Governor Who Visited the Casa Rosada the Most in the First Seven Months of 2026
The Entre Ríos governor made five visits to Balcarce 50 between January and July, according to a survey published by Diario El Heraldo. His meetings with national officials covered management issues as well as election-related negotiations.
Rogelio Frigerio was the governor with the highest number of visits to the Casa Rosada during the first seven months of 2026, according to a survey published by Diario El Heraldo. The Entre Ríos governor made five entries to Balcarce 50: one in March, one in April, one in May and two in June.
According to that outlet, Diego Santilli attended all of those meetings. In addition, the April 14 meeting was also attended by Alfredo Cornejo, Karina Milei and Eduardo “Lule” Menem.
Among the issues discussed were the halt in national public works in Entre Ríos, the province’s fiscal situation and the electoral reform promoted by the national government. Diario El Heraldo also noted that one of those meetings was officially confirmed by the national administration on May 18.
The survey also linked that frequency of meetings to the political relationship between Frigerio and the Casa Rosada. Still according to Diario El Heraldo, the talks also have an electoral dimension: the governor would seek to renew his term in 2027 and would try to prevent La Libertad Avanza from fielding a competitive candidate in Entre Ríos, while his bloc could support Javier Milei’s reelection.
In that line, the outlet said Frigerio’s recent support for eliminating the PASO was read as aligned with the national administration’s intention to change the electoral system.
Behind Frigerio were Rolando Figueroa, of Neuquén, and Leandro Zdero, of Chaco, with four visits each. Then come Claudio Poggi, Marcelo Orrego, Raúl Jalil, Alberto Weretilneck and Sergio Ziliotto with three entries. Maximiliano Pullaro, Carlos Sadir, Juan Pablo Valdés, Ignacio Torres and Gustavo Sáenz were recorded with two visits. With a single appearance are Alfredo Cornejo, Jorge Macri, Osvaldo Jaldo, Gustavo Melella and Claudio Vidal.
According to Diario El Heraldo, among the governors’ demands, complaints about public works, infrastructure, national roads, the pension system and possible political agreements were repeated. In Frigerio’s case, the report concluded that his five visits place him among the national executive branch’s main provincial interlocutors, although decisions remain pending on stalled works and resources claimed by Entre Ríos.
