In 1969, Carol Hanish made this statement during a heated discussion about the feminist movement in New York, reflecting that the problems women faced in the home were not just personal issues but the result of deep-rooted social structures . Today, with the same perspective, but from the perspective of public service, I confirm that every fact is political. Every action, every decision made by our administration has the ability to exceed and, most importantly, improve the lives of families in our towns, our province and our country. It’s our responsibility to transform everyday lives through policies that really make a difference

At the same time, this is also our greatest opportunity. A clear example of this shift from micro to macro occurred a few weeks ago in Sierra Grande when I encountered Javier, a vehicle to repair your motorcycle so you can take your skills certification exam

We organize it together with the municipality and the UOCRA Foundation. For Javier, receiving this certificate represents not only a personal achievement but also an opportunity to enter a new professional horizon. and

With the construction of the Vaca Muerta Sur pipeline project and the Punta Colorada LNG plant, the need for qualified labor will be huge.

The political decision made by our Premier, Alberto Weretilneck, to open the province to these transformative investments has an impact that goes far beyond numbers: it changes people’s lives.The construction of the Vaca Muerta Sur pipeline, led by YPF, is one of the most important investments in the country’s energy infrastructure. divided into two key stages

The project is notable not only for its economic scale, but also for its social impact. The first stage runs from Agnello in Neuquen to Allen in Rio Negro, with a total length of 130 kilometers and involves Nearly US$190 million was invested, creating 500 jobs at the peak of business.

The second phase includes building an export terminal in Punta Colorada and equipping large ships with two monobuoys, requiring an additional investment of more than $2 billion.

This strategic commitment strengthens Rio Negro’s role on the global hydrocarbon map and positions the province as a fundamental partner for exports. The region is already feeling the impact of these decisions.Registered employment in Sierra Grande increased 81% over the past 12 months

Especially in the past four months, according to data from the Ministry of Labor’s regional delegation.

This backlash is a clear sign that we are in a moment of profound change. expected to work Set to be completed in the second half of 2026, it will mark a milestone in Argentina’s oil infrastructure and consolidate Vaca Muerta

Serves as an engine for growth at national and international levels.

The Vaca Muerta Sur pipeline and LNG plant plans demonstrate how political decisions can change the reality of entire communities, from individuals to collectives.

What was originally intended has become a concrete source of opportunity for residents of Rio Negro and beyond.

Javier’s story from repairing a motorcycle to obtaining the certification that allowed him to participate in a project of this scale is a small but powerful example of the impact of these policies.The connection between the personal and the political that Carol Hanish emphasized more than half a century ago is a reality today, with the potential to lead to a better future.

For thousands of families. This progress transcends economics and changes lives, pushing Rio Negro and Argentina towards sustainability and mutual development.
