Tension with the provinces. The governor of Córdoba made a request to Milei and announced that the differential rates in transportation will be maintained

This week was full of tensions between the president Javier Miley and the governors of the interior for the removal of subsidies for public transport in the provinces after the parliamentary setback of the omnibus law. This Saturday, the governor of Córdoba, Martin Llaryora came out in response and ratified the continuity of differential tickets for students, workers and seniors. In turn, he pointed out against the Government for the economic measures: “We ask the President to reflect.”

This morning Milei pointed directly against Llaryora, saying that the result of the entire parliamentary discussion was “fantastic” because it allowed us to demonstrate what the politicians who were left with “dirty fingers”and confirmed that the adjustment on the provinces will increase and that local leaders will have to see how they manage to lower their expenses.

In a long message on XLlaryora said that “It is not a time to respond to grievances or insults,” but “it is a time for dialogue and consensus.” In that sense, announced that differential rates will be maintained. “We are going to continue with the benefit of the Free Educational Ticket (BEG), intended for students, teachers and professors. In this way we promote access to education and support for families, even more so in difficult times such as this deep economic crisis that we Argentines are going through. We will also continue to stand by the workers and promote production. We are going to continue with the BoletoObreroSocial (BOS) and the BoletoAdultoMayor (BAM), To achieve this we will reinforce the budget items in the face of the removal of national subsidies. In the same way, we will do so with the BoletoAdultoMayor (BAM), a benefit intended for women over 60 and men over 65, and the BoletoSocialCordobés (BSC), for families who need it most,” wrote the provincial leader.

In turn, he sent a message to the government, in response to the removal of transportation subsidies only in the interior, and not in the Metropolitan Area of ​​Buenos Aires. “I want you to know that this is an enormous economic effort, but it is our commitment, conviction and decision to accompany citizens in the face of the arbitrary measure that the national government has taken in recent days. I also want to express my solidarity with the claim that all the mayors and governors of the country affected by these measures are making. “They harm workers, students, retirees and Argentine families,” said the governor.

Along the same lines, he made a request to Milei: “We are the educational Córdoba, convinced that only education will make us free and sovereign, That is why we also ask the President to reflect on the elimination of the teacher incentive payment.”

In this situation, #Córdoba respond with actions, with work and with respect. I ratify my commitment to the people of Córdoba, that is why I want to announce that we are going to continue with the benefit of the #FreeEducationalBoleto (BEG), intended for students, teachers and professors.

The Government cut subsidies for transportation in the interior

This week, surprisingly, the Government announced that will eliminate the main fund to which subsidies for public transportation in the interior of the country are allocatedwhere the metropolitan area of ​​Buenos Aires (AMBA) is excluded, thus cutting transfers to the Interior Compensatory Fund with the objective of meeting one of the goals set at the beginning of the administration.

The decision to eliminate this fund was made directly by the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputowho had already warned the provinces that he will reduce expenses due to the fall of the omnibus law.

The Ministry of Transportation also said that ““The freezing of fares that had been inherited from the previous administration on trains and buses was ended.” to give it “greater prominence in covering the costs necessary to operate.”

The complete message from Martín Llaryora:

“It is not time to respond to grievances or insults, it is time for dialogue and consensus. Given the national government’s willingness to eliminate transportation subsidies only for the interior of the country, I have made the firm decision to continue the following measures:

Faced with this situation, Córdoba responds with actions, with work and with respect. I ratify my commitment to the people of Córdoba, that is why I want to announce that we are going to continue with the benefit of the Free Educational Ticket (BEG), intended for students, teachers and professors.

In this way we promote access to education and support for families, even more so in difficult times such as this deep economic crisis that we Argentines are going through.

We will also continue to stand by the workers and promote production. We are going to continue with the #BoletoObreroSocial (BOS) and the Boleto Adulto Mayor (BAM), to achieve this we will reinforce the budget items in the face of the removal of national subsidies.

In the same way, we will do so with the Boleto Adulto Mayor (BAM), a benefit intended for women over 60 and men over 65, and the Boleto Social Cordobés (BSC), for families who need it most.

Men and women of Córdoba, I want you to know that this is an enormous economic effort, but it is our commitment, conviction and decision to accompany the citizens in the face of the arbitrary measure that the national government has taken in recent days.

I also want to express my solidarity with the claim being made by all the mayors and governors of the country affected by these measures that harm workers, students, retirees and Argentine families.

It is my responsibility as Governor and as a citizen to continue representing, through management, the working #Córdoba, the productive Córdoba, the industrial Córdoba, the agricultural Córdoba, the cultural Córdoba, the educational Córdoba, in short, each of you.

We will be the Córdoba of progress. That is why we also reject the increases in export duties and withholdings applied to the productive sectors.

We are the educational Córdoba, convinced that only education will make us free and sovereign: that is why we also ask the President to reflect on the elimination of the teacher incentive payment.

Córdoba never knelt, and it will not do so now, because it is the legacy that its people gave with their vote, also to this Governor.

The greatness of our country requires the restraint and sanity of its leaders. You will always find me willing to engage in dialogue for the construction of a democratic, federal and productive Argentina.”
