The “pestilence” that was missing in Bahia and a black outlook for large works
The words belong to the president of the local Construction Chamber, Diego Moguillansky, who warned today in dialogue with LU2 that more than 200 thousand jobs are at risk. work at the national level and around 5,000 at the local level, both workers and professional and administrative personnel.
Moguillansky maintained that the "large debt" that has been accumulating with companies since the previous government and that the current management of Javier Milei does not resolve, increases uncertainty.
«Last week we issued a statement from the Chamber about the emergency in the sector. Communication with the government is very difficult, before we spoke with Guillermo Ferraro, now former Minister of Infrastructure, who resigned days ago. Then we requested a meeting with Minister Luis Caputo – who absorbed the areas dependent on Ferraro – but we have not yet been able to sit down with him," said the businessman.
The two main works with national financing that are stopped in Bahía are those of Route 33 and the Paso Urbano, in the El Cholo area.
«There is some movement, but more than anything it is maintenance of what there is. Lets hope that the works do not remain unfinished for a long time and that the authorities that are managing the country understand that this is not one more work or one less work, there are 200 thousand employees who could be left without work. Layoffs are already taking place. There are many companies that can no longer resist and are going bankrupt. And then there are the suppliers who cannot collect, which in the long run cuts off the entire payment chain," said Moguillansky.
Work on route 33, last year.
Regarding the affected workers in our district, he explained that, at the peak of work a year ago, there were about 5 thousand workers employed, plus professional and administrative staff.
«We are seeing a decrease every month, although there are no official numbers because we are in a time when, due to seasonal reasons, activity always decreases. But when you talk to colleagues, we all had to lay off people.
The leader added that the relationship with the UOCRA "is excellent": "We all understand that without a company there are no workers and, without workers, there is no company."
And he concluded with a look at works in the private sector.
«With the December devaluation and high inflation, it is also affected. It is very difficult for developers to set a price and, furthermore, there is no credit for investors. And, if they have savings, nowadays people save it. |
