The Buenos Aires mayor led the ceremony at the Buenos Aires Legislature. He made demands on the national executive branch and questioned Axel Kicillof about the security situation. With an electorally charged speech, Buenos Aires City Mayor Jorge Macri opened the 28th regular session of the City Legislature this Saturday. We increased the level of investment in public works to 19% of the budget. Public works in the City are not slowing down; on the contrary, they are accelerating, said the official, after highlighting the announcement of the construction of the new subway line F. ALSO: Javier Milei speaks before the Legislative Assembly: the main points of his speech. Accompanied by the Deputy Chief of Government, Clara Muzzio, and the First Vice President of the Legislature, Matías Lammens, Macri celebrated the suspension of the primary elections in the Buenos Aires district. I appreciate the intense work during the extraordinary period that just concluded. In particular, the discussion and approval of the suspension of the PASO (Primary Elections) demonstrates the maturity and responsibility that this moment demands of us, thinking of the well-being of the citizens, not our own, he stated. In another excerpt from his speech, the head of government highlighted the order and austerity of his administration and took a dig at President Javier Milei. You can be as efficient as you are effective when, instead of trying to eliminate the state, you manage with austerity, prudence, and responsibility, protecting resources and not spending more than you earn, he said. After announcing the submission of a bill to strengthen Buenos Airess autonomy, he again called on the national government to address the prisoners. I know that, as Minister Patricia Bullrich says, all provinces have their prisons. But they also have their own justice system. And the Minister knows that, since this city was created, weve never had a full justice system or a Penitentiary Service. So, there cant be any magic in the solution. This wont be resolved overnight. And as long as the crimes are national, the prisoners belong to the Federal Penitentiary Service, he stated. We are already taking charge of the fundamental solution, building the Marcos Paz prison. But we cannot continue to have prisoners where they shouldnt be and where they pose a danger to everyone. This is about protecting the people of Buenos Aires, the mayor emphasized, after confirming that he will send the bill for the creation of the City Penitentiary Service to the Legislature. Jorge Macri highlighted the order and austerity of his administration at the head of the Buenos Aires government. ALSO: Máximo also supported Kicillof and accused Milei of using insecurity for electoral purposes . Jorge Macri, in turn, questioned the governor of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, but called for a joint effort to combat insecurity. “From the Government, we are doing everything in our power to make the City one of the safest capitals in Latin America, but across General Paz, crime is growing unchecked. We have managed to maintain security, but it would be much easier if the Governor took the fight against crime seriously,” he said. We eagerly await Kicillofs message to learn about his plan to combat the insecurity plaguing the province, which has already claimed the lives of 13 of our police officers, he said. Meanwhile, the head of government announced that, to put an end to the rag-picking mafia, he will propose increasing penalties for these types of crimes, which will include fines and days of arrest. They think they own the streets, Macri stated, explaining that the changes will be implemented through a reform of the Contravention Code. |
