| Work Detail |
At the time of the change of government, there were 169 public works in progress in Entre Ríos financed by the national State. All of them were affected by the decision of President Javier Milei to stop infrastructure projects in the country. Like other governors, Rogelio Frigerio signed a framework agreement with the national government. There, the works were divided into three annexes: those that will continue to be the responsibility of the Nation, those that will be transferred to the province and those that will be transferred to the municipalities. What is not assured is the financing and is still being negotiated. ANÁLISIS accessed the text of the agreement and reveals the complete list of the works.
At the Government House, the transfer to the provincial sphere is not seen as good news. “The works were thrown at us,” a senior official sums up.
The transfer includes the execution of the works, but not the financing. The agreement leaves open the possibility of moving forward with "specific agreements" on a case-by-case basis and negotiations are continuing, but everything indicates that the province will have to obtain funds to reactivate the works, choose which ones will continue and which ones will not, and negotiate the cancellation of the contracts for those that cannot be resumed.
As a result, Frigerios government will have to pay the political cost of all these decisions, which ranges from the displeasure of mayors and legislators because they are not assigned any work in their territories to the eventual legal action or claims by companies whose contracts are rescinded.
“Adopt the measures that are pertinent so that the province assumes the financing and/or execution, as appropriate, of the public works detailed above, whose financing and/or execution is currently the responsibility of various entities of the National Public Sector,” is indicated in the first clause of the signed agreement.
It is added there that "it is at the discretion of the province to terminate or resolve, as appropriate, the agreements for works whose financing and/or execution it assumes in accordance with the provisions of the applicable regulations."
Nation, province, municipalities
The works that are transferred to the province are 26 and have had mixed fortunes. In the first stage, work is being done to cancel the debts with the companies, which stopped collecting the certificates in the last part of the previous administration. Cleaning up this situation is a condition for the possibility of thinking about restarting work.
Planning Minister Darío Schneider told Amanece que no es poco (Radio Plaza – FM 94.7) that progress is being made on works on Route 32, access to Hasenkamp, ??Route 20, work on the Government House and other sanitation, hydraulic and school infrastructure works, including several technical schools.
The reactivation of the works whose execution continues to be carried out by the Nation, which are 14, is also not assured. So far, according to what Schneider reported, the repaving work on Route 12 has been resumed in the section between Galarza and Nogoyá, by one company, and in the section from Nogoyá to Route 131, by another company.
Regarding the works transferred to the municipalities, which are 129, information is being gathered with the local governments on the status of each one in order to establish a link with the Nation. The minister explained that in many cases the municipalities continued and completed the works with their own resources and are managing the recognition of these debts.
Concern in the opposition
Provincial deputy Juan José Bahillo (PJ) showed this week on the program Cuestión de fondo (Canal 9 Litoral) the oppositions concern on the subject.
"I am concerned about something that is appearing in the titles and that the governors are working on, not just Frigerio, which is the transfer of public works financed by the national government to the provinces so that the provinces can execute them," he said.
«If that is a decentralization of the concrete execution of the work, it is one thing. But I would like to know what will happen with the funds. Because this decentralization of the responsibility and the roles of the national governments has already happened and has even happened in our governments, but without the corresponding allocation of funds it will put the provincial governments in crisis. So, we would not like to find out, and this is a request to the governor, that the works are transferred to us without the corresponding allocations for financing. Because the allocations are not mentioned. The transfers of the works are discussed», explained the legislator.
