Javier Milei opened a new front with the governorscentered on the conflict with Ignacio Torres de Chubut, this time con Axel Kicillof. In the Official Gazette this Monday the decree was published that eliminates the Fund for Fiscal Strengthening of the province of Buenos Aires. It was the one that was created during the administration of Alberto Fernández, in the pandemic, with the City of Buenos Aires being removed from participation and following a police demonstration that included a protest in the Olivos estate.
The official decision was recorded in the Decree 192/24with the signatures of the president, the Chief of Staff, Nicolás Posse, and the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo.
It was explained The measure is taken in line with the national government’s adjustment plan: “carry out a fiscal adjustment in the National Public Sector of FIVE (5) points of GDP and, at the same time, resolve the situation of the remunerated liabilities of the CENTRAL BANK OF THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC, which are responsible for the TEN (10) points of its deficit.»
It was in September 2020 when Fernández decided to create the Fund. It was in the context of the questioned protests by the Buenos Aires Police at the presidential residence.
In practice, it meant that The Nation withdrew one point from the participation in the Federal Capital and transferred it to the province of Buenos Aires. It was part of the percentage of participation that during the government of Mauricio Macri was transferred to the Capital for the transfer of the Federal Police to the City.
At that time, with the coronavirus pandemic already advanced in the country, the creation of the Fund meant the breakup of the relationship that had been established by health policy between the then ruling party and the head of Government of CABA, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta.
