The province’s Chamber of Deputies ruled once morest the measure of the national government that grants concessions for hydroelectric dams in the Comahue region to the state company Enarsa, without the participation of the provinces that own the water resource.
Declaration 3540, which rejects this decision, was approved by a majority. In addition, declaration 3537 was approved, which supports the efforts of the province to establish a tripartite administration of the dams.
The legislators showed consensus in rejecting this decision, cqualifying it as unconsulted and unilateral. The need to establish a dialogue between the national government and the province to form a tripartite administration of the dams was highlighted.
Other related demands were also mentioned, such as the evacuation of the water canon, royalties, funds for infrastructure maintenance and the implementation of the Comahue Rate.
From the Frente de Todos, the importance of joint work between the provinces and the Nation was emphasized, but it was highlighted that Neuquén should have a majority in the administration of the dams, since the water resource belongs to the jurisdictions.
According to a document issued by the Legislature, the Deputy César Gass (Together for Change) criticized the operation of Enarsa and asked that the National Constitution be respected, which establishes that the resources are the domain of the jurisdictions.
Deputies spoke out once morest the measure. Blanca López and Andrés Blanco, who requested the nationalization of the hydroelectric plants under the control of the workers and true energy sovereignty.
Deputy Maximiliano Caparroz (MPN) requested that the national government summon the province to a “dialogue table” for the formation of a tripartite administration of the dams, since at this time there were only “lukewarm references” by the Nation.
Darío Peralta and Lorena Parrilli stressed the importance of joint work between the provinces and the Nation. “Neuquén has to have a majority in the administration of the dams,” said Parrilli following emphasizing that the appeal is from the jurisdictions.
