The axis of one of the deepest disagreements in the official coalition, the tariff segmentation, was announced and published yesterday, in the official newspaper, in the middle The silence of the heavy wing of the government, led by Kirchnerism and La Campora. From there, a different scheme was always proposed than was finally approved by President Alberto Fernandez and Economy Minister Martin Guzman of the sector, with whom they maintain key differences in management because of their economic policies, which have further exacerbated them. Terms of the agreement with the International Monetary Fund.

Meanwhile, Vice President Christina Kirchner will make a public appearance at the CTA plenary session this Monday, and His appearance leads to speculation that he will be made public on the subject.

“We do not make sense”They told him Ეری The organization is from the ranks of La Cámpora, headed by a deputy Maximo Kirchner. “This is the case (Deputy Secretary, Santiago) Lopez Osornio“- said the official consulted by this newspaper, referring to another official responsible for the issue and as a sign of obvious distance. In Kirchnerism they deny that they intend to confront the media outpost against the model chosen for segmentation. “We talked about when we should have done it – based on a segmentation scheme presented by energy officials and it was not taken into account – and what was proposed was different. So, let those who have decided to speak now speak for themselves, ”is part of the debate that has been reproduced in various sectors of the sector.

They explain the same with regard to the final court hearing of the issue, as various sectors suggest that this could happen. “We are not going to do that”They said, however, that there were those in the sector who acknowledged that the likelihood of segmentation pursuit – which would hinder its possible implementation – was “very wide”.

Nevertheless, the hardest sectors of Kirchnerism came out to publicly express their differences. For example, economist Fernanda Vallejo, a reviewer for Soberanxs, was particularly critical:The IMF tariff policy pursued by the Ministry of Economy is unfortunate. A new blow to consumption capacity (with all its macro-influences) and to the quality of life of middle-class workers. ”

Similarly, the former head of Comfer expressed himself, Gabriel Marriott, Who noted that “the government is increasing its energy by using the IMF plan. When media owners own electricity distributors, even the victims agree! What if the dams were built by the people and the state of Argentina? How much does the water that goes into your turbines cost?

Tariff segmentation was one of the main issues to be addressed by the government shortly after its adoption.In December 2019, when He sought to advance the idea of ​​reducing energy subsidies through differential tariffs based on consumer income.. But the project has accumulated two series of obstacles from the very beginning: one due to the implementation of technical difficulties and the other due to internal obstacles between the various sectors of the ruling party.

The energy sector, in the hands of officials directly subordinate to Vice President Christina Kirchner, has always expressed its differences over what Minister Guzman, Fernandez’s man wing, has to offer. Along these lines, last May, the head of the area Dario MartinezAnd Deputy Secretary, Frederick BasualdoThey were not present during the public debate on this topic and attended the factory construction visit, with a clear internal signal.

In the midst of internal government, former Minister Matthias Kulpas opened fire on the sector in a resignation letter. In which he recalled that “It was essential to rationalize this system, Tariff adjustments that address the household income crisis but provide it with distributional progression. Far from them, “The team from the Ministry of Energy, which was deployed from the regulatory bodies, has done nothing but feed this disastrous subsidy system.”

The implementation of the segmentation was confirmed at a press conference yesterday by Speaker Gabriela Seruti, who then began to publish a new ordinance that sets out System For users. Although, according to him, the details of the event will be released by the Ministry of Economy. It is expected that this will affect only 10% of the population and that the remaining 90% will not receive growth. For the rest of the year.

“The system considers segmentation Three scales: One that applies to those citizens – we estimate that this is 10% of the population – who, based on their income, Income equal to more than three and a half incomes of the main basket set by INDEC per family group. Or who has three cars, three properties, a yacht or a plane, They will have to pay the full fee “And they will not receive a subsidy from the state,” the official said.
