Government
Given the federal system of government in Argentina there are 3 orders or ranks: the National, Provincial and Municipal. Thus it is referring to the three branches in each of these tiers.
The executive branch in La Plata, is exercised by the municipal mayor, elected by popular vote every four years with the possibility of unlimited reelection. The government building is known as the Palacio Municipal, located between the streets 51, 53, 11 and 12, in the city center, is separated from the cathedral across the plaza Moreno. The current mayor is Paul Bruera.
The city government is divided into different areas. These are: Private Secretary, Secretary General, Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Public Management, Social Development Secretariat, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Modernization and Economic Development, Ministry of Justice Faltas, Secretary of Health and Social Medicine, Chief of Staff, Regional Market La Plata, Management Consortium Puerto La Plata, Executive Unit Revenue Agency, Environment Agency Implementation Unit, Human Rights Department, Ministry of Government, Policy Planning Council, Regional Production and Employment, and the city council.
La Plata, also for being capital, is home to three provincial powers. That is, the provincial executive (by Daniel Scioli) along with their ministries, the judiciary and the provincial Legislature, have their seat in La Plata.

Famous quotes containing the word government:
“[F]rom Saratoga [N.Y.] till we got back to Northampton [Mass.], was then mostly desert. Now it is what 34. years of free and good government have made it. It shews how soon the labor of man would make a paradise of the whole earth, were it not for misgovernment, and a diversion of all his energies from their proper object, the happiness of man, to the selfish interests of kings, nobles and priests.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own. It is told at every move, “Don’t do that, You will interfere with our prosperity.” And when we ask: “where is our prosperity lodged?” a certain group of gentlemen say, “With us.””
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, ... thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
