The agreement that the provincial government will sign with the nation on Friday for the reactivation of public works in the province includes 14 projects and all of them are road projects. This was stated by the Chief of Staff, Juan Luna, who spoke about this important agreement that the Province hopes to seal with the Casa Rosada to reactivate public works. The Nation has proposed a scheme to the provinces whereby, of all the public works that the Nation was financing until December 10 in the provinces, they will continue some works, but not all. And for that, they (the Nation) are asking for the signing of an agreement that we are willing to sign so that at least those works can be reactivated as soon as possible in our province, said Luna. The Chief of Staff then stressed that all the works that the Nation will do are road works and he detailed which ones are the main ones. «There are 14 works in total. Those included in the agreement are the most important road works, which are the sections of the international road of Paso de Pircas Negras, the section on the road from Pampa de la Viuda to Chilecito, the last section of Las Padercitas to the Los Sauces Dam, the El Chacho roundabout, Route 6 and the last phase of the downtown work, the storm drain work, is added. The Nation is responsible for all of these», he specified. Luna also spoke about the Casa Rosadas demand in exchange for taking charge of the aforementioned works. The demand is that the work that the Nation was committed to finance, that is budgeted by the Nation and that was being carried out and that they do not include now in this agreement, the Province can continue. We told them that we are going to make an effort within our possibilities to continue with these works as long as they take charge of those that they themselves propose to reactivate. They tell us which works they want to continue in La Rioja, he indicated. The official expressed his reservations about the agreement with the Nation and said that the provincial government expects that these 14 works will be done all at once and not one by one. We hope that if they make us sign an agreement where La Rioja will take on other works that the Nation would have to do but that we are willing to study them with the objective of unblocking these 14, we want these 14 to be done and not just the El Chacho roundabout. They should not come to us with one little work now and another next year, we want all of these 14 works to be done, he said. |
