Replica
“Luis Judge noyes you are used to thisand type of puts on stage, trying to show a reality that does not exist, a parallelism that only It is“He sees it with a part of malicious interpretation on the part of his sector”Rodio said.
“We are going to continue working as the Municipality has been doing, also presenting
all the compelling evidence and obviously asking for the opening of national subsidies for the city’s public transportation system in 2003 and in this way make it clear about what the system was like at that time,” he added in statements to Miter Córdoba.
The complaint from the leader of the Civic Front asks for an investigation “for the possible commission of crimes that can be prosecuted in office.” to the current Secretary of Transportation of the Province, Marcelo Rodio, to Eduardo Ramírez, to Emilio Gustavo Monzónand “other accomplices acting as officials of the Municipality of the City of Córdoba, or owners of the company Ersa UrbanosS.A., for the months from December 2022, until December 10, 2023.”

Defending
Rodio explained that “there was a collaboration agreement between two private companies, between the Tamse company and the Ersa company” and asked to remember “how the system was at that time.”
“Lines 600, 601, 53 and 54 and the Aerobus had a lot of deficiencies. That is why we decided to make this collaboration agreement to be able to try to improve. At that time, the current governor Martín Llaryora had bought 210 units and that meant that we had a very important Tamse, with air conditioning, with Wi-Fi, the latest model,” the official added.
“And it gave us the possibility of keeping some groups as a backup to solve some problems. We quickly started working on taking charge of these lines. And in this collaboration contract, the company ERSA begins to try to improve corridors 5 and 7 with the number of buses it had, it stops providing service on those lines, it takes charge of 5 and 7 and Tamse works with these lines. At that time it was very important to make this collaboration agreement,” said Rodio.
He also pointed out that “the other way was a transfer of lines as had already been done on other occasions,” but clarified that these modalities “are always more expensive,” since “they require compensation.”
The current provincial Secretary of Transportation indicated that “national subsidies are not provided by the city of Córdoba, it is not at the discretion of the city.”
“Here there is a formula that needs to have a part, a leg, in the employees, in the Anses, in the 931, a very important part also in the vehicle park that each company declares to be the buses, and another very important part that These are the routes managed by the Wordline company,” he explained.
Reviews
Rodio described what Judge has done as “very illogical” while harshly criticizing him.
“Throughout the past period we did a lot of work to ensure that more national subsidies came to the system. We never heard Luis Juez fight for national subsidies for Córdoba and this was clear because he had his friends from Cambiemos in the Federal Capital. Now he is looking for another political godfather for next year’s elections.”he questioned.
“I left my position in November 23, the agreement continued to work, December, January and February. I can’t get involved in that type of speculation if it was one person or another. For us it is very important that this is clarified, known,” Rodio continued.
“The effort that Córdoba, the government, has made to improve the system cannot be forgotten simply because of a misinterpreted complaint, a malicious complaint that the Senator Judge is making, who has us accustomed to this type of practices,” he concluded.
