The main direction of the demands of the opposition mayors is the renewal of the Municipal Infrastructure Fund (FIM). which at the beginning of the year was set at 17 billion pesos for 135 municipalities. 13% of this mass corresponds to municipalities managed by radical mayors, or about 2000 million dollars.
“There is a serious problem: many work contracts have not yet been signed. Others were signed but did not receive a financial advance.– said Fernandez Er. “If you didn’t sign the contracts, you couldn’t start. There are projects that go through unnecessary adjustments. The more time passes, the less money there is. We cannot sign works that will not have enough budget due to inflation in the end,” Fernandez said before entering the meeting.
“We have to discuss the FIM’s delays,” agreed Jose Castro, the mayor of Montes. “There is a delay in payments. Some municipalities are still not receiving advances And the inflation is very worrying because the planned works will not be implemented,” said Castro, the mayor of Montes.
Mayors are also concerned about delays in out-of-province shipments to cover Institute of Medical Assistance (IOMA) benefits. “The province owes a lot to the municipalities. We received benefits during the pandemic and it was not credited or completely discounted. We discussed with the Minister of Health Nicholas Kreplak– said Fernandez.
Opposition mayors are also set to negotiate the cost of benefits. “We want to discuss nomenclature and an adequate and predictable administrative circle.” A public hospital charges much lower than private clinics,” Fernandez said.
Tomorrow PRO mayors will take more claims to Kitsilof. The meeting will be held after the governor criticized the governments Mauricio Macri and Maria Eugenia Vidal.
“We come from the era of electoral fraud. Those who perpetrated the previous scam are now claiming they know how to fix it. How easy it is to be a reality commentator. How difficult it will be to defraud them with the same lies as before,” the president said in recent hours. It was when running a line of credit to access housing. This is Crea Plan in Florencio Varela, this morning.
