President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner met with Santa Fe's governor, Hermes Binner, and later with Salta's governor, Juan Urtubey, in order to continue with the open political dialogue with the provinces' leaders.

The Cabinet Chief, Aníbal Fernández, and the Interior Minister, Florencio Randazzo, where also part of the meeting with Binner.

Once both meetings finished, Aníbal Fernández said that the encounter with Binner "was, in general, an excellent talk," and added that "there were suggestions of a direct and responsible dialogue."

"It was just like the President expected to be," said Fernández.

Meanwhile, Binner said that "the fact that the government summons us is very important because the dialogue leads to consensus."

He added that he told the President that his province "has a manageable deficit" but claimed that the debts "are since Cavallo's period due to not-paid bonds." Binner claimed for financial funds for his province.
