La Pampa completed 100 projects and plans more than 200 The Minister of Public Works and Services, Alfredo Intronati, evaluated the current situation of the province in terms of infrastructure, the importance of its continuity and its social impact, in a balance of 2024 that has just ended and setting the objectives for this 2025. Intronati assured that “in 2025, the works tendered in 2024 and those started in 2023 will continue, because they are essential for social synergy. Public works are guaranteed in the province, and Governor Sergio Ziliotto emphasizes their continuity because of their benefits, such as transforming social realities and generating employment,” Intronati told LA ARENA. “Public works are the means for the growth of many families, and this is where this inclusive policy, which aims to support household economies, focuses,” the minister added. Referring to the current administration, he said: “We are continuing with concrete actions. Our province is characterized by continuing on the path of growth and development, unlike other provinces that had to slow down the works they had started. Here, specific solutions were found to continue them, considering that the priority is society as a whole.” The relationship with the Nation. Intronati stressed that “despite this cruel situation in which the National Government has placed us, which proposes that private companies should act, we are realistic and continue working. No private capital is going to start a sanitary project, for example, a sewage network and treatment plant. These are large-scale infrastructures and delicate engineering calculations, and even less so would the residents be able to take them on; it is a total nonsense to propose something like that.” We cannot even think about how the neighbours can build a cistern, an aqueduct or pavements. These are works that require the intervention of the State, and only with its presence can they be made possible due to their complexity, but also due to their costs, he said. He also stressed that there are concerns about the National Governments position regarding the lack of funding for public works. In this regard, the minister said that for example, we are talking with the Nation about the fate of its routes, it is something that cannot be abandoned. National routes connect us to the rest of the country and to the localities among themselves, they are an essential means of communication, as is their good condition because citizens need to travel safely. “The condition of these corridors contributes to many social aspects such as access to health, economic, productive, cultural and educational services. Their abandonment means decay and risks of road accidents. It is basically about protecting the lives of those who travel along them, which is why this issue is of great concern to us. It is an act of negligence to leave the condition of the national road corridors to chance,” he added. “Apathy towards people.” In this context, Intronati said that “the lack of interest of the Nation and its marked apathy towards the people has led us to take charge of projects that economically depended on its funds. Governor Ziliotto has made the decision to continue with many of them and the Executive is constantly studying how to move forward.” “The State of La Pampa thinks about the well-being of the people and for this reason continues with the construction of social housing, to support the dream of many families who want to have their own home and to achieve it by being a direct participant. Institutional planning and the good judgment of prioritizing the people of La Pampa are the driving force that allows us to continue moving forward, and contributes to education, security, production, culture and social well-being in general. Only the presence of the State can lead us to a safe harbor. Last year, 102 works were completed, while 174 are in progress and 52 are tendered and ready to be awarded,” concluded Intronati. Dosso, new undersecretary. Engineer Antonela Dosso was announced as the new Undersecretary of Public Works of La Pampa. Until now, she served as the director of the area. The Undersecretary of Public Works became vacant when the current minister, Alfredo Intronati, left that position, to take over from Julio Rojo in September 2024. As director of Public Works, Dosso participated in most of the tenders developed by the provincial government within the Works portfolio. |
