The pride of Jorge Sapag
For former governor Jorge Sapag and mentor of the candidacy that led Omar Gutiérrez to the governorship, the planning left by the Neuquén president for 2030 requires macroeconomic policies of the Nation.
“I am excited and proud of Omar Gutiérrez’s management and of the 2030 projection that he leaves following a highly positive result,” he pondered.
He spoke wonders of Vaca Muerta, it seems that he lives in another province, not one with poverty higher than the national average: 37.2%
Andrés Blanco, deputy of the Left Front
He stressed that the 2030 plan presented the goal of reaching production per day of one million barrels of oil and 150 cubic meters of gas.
“That requires a lot of work on pipelines, a treatment plant and investments. Neuquén has just started this development, it has 6 or 7% of the areas and the 2030 plan proposes 30% of the covered surface”, he highlighted.
He added that to achieve that goal it will require accelerating investments “and clear rules of the republic.” He indicated that there is a “tightening of currencies in the Central Bank” due to the lack of inflow of foreign currency and insisted that “we need the republic to generate macroeconomic stability” for the Neuquén plan to be successful.
What will Gutiérrez do in December?
“I have had offers of all kinds, in public and private instances,” said Governor Omar Gutiérrez in relation to his occupation following December 10.
He added that the offers were during electoral times and outside the time of presentation of candidacies, however “I have no idea what I am going to do.”
He clarified that several months of management remain. He added that from now on there is “much to continue specifying” and that the “institutional strengthening” and development plan is still underway.
“After December 10, another stage opens in which it is healthy, for a while, to have another activity,” he said.
“There is a lot of work in the 9 months ahead,” he said amid greetings in the hall of the Legislature, where he spent a long time in dialogue with the MPN militants who came to greet him at the last opening of sessions.
