Economy Minister Sergio Massa announced that in September “We call for tenders for the second section” of the President Néstor Kirchner Gas Pipeline, which will go from Salliqueló to San Jerónimo“to finish supplying the Argentine coast” and is going to “export via southern Brazil to increase exports.”
“In December we called for tenders for the second section of the Salliqueló-San Gerónimo gas pipeline, to finish supplying the Argentine coast and also to start trying to export via southern Brazil to try to increase exports,” he announced.
And he explained: “The gas from Vaca Muerta will allow us to make electricity cheaper in Argentina next year, that our industries have cheaper energy and that our SMEs can compete better and that we can also begin to develop gas distribution in Argentine provinces such as Corrientes or Misiones that today still do not have natural gas. That has to be our huge challenge.”
The presidential candidate stressed that the GPNK is the “principle of change in the economic and energy matrix” of the country, and pondered that there will no longer be a need to “import gas by ship because we are going to use the gas from our subsoil”, nor, he said, will gas be imported from Bolivia because “North Argentina is going to be reached by gas from Vaca Muerta.”
At the inauguration of the CPNK, which he headed together with President Alberto Fernández and Vice President Cristina Kirchner, he pointed out that the Néstor Kirchner gas pipeline “has to do with a long-term vision that several generations of Argentina will enjoy” and He highlighted those who made “the solidarity contribution” that allowed its construction.
Sergio Massa thanked Alberto Fernández “for continuing with this project when the IMF asked us to stop it”
The candidate for president of Unión por la Patria, Sergio Massa, thanked Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner for their decisions.
“Thanks to the President (Fernández) for continuing with this project when the IMF asked us to stop it,” highlighted the head of the Palacio de Hacienda when thanking the sectors that collaborated in the construction of the work.
“My thanks to the President for continuing with this project when in December the International Monetary Fund asked us to stop it, because we are not going to enjoy this in the next six months, this has to do with a long-term initiative that will to enjoy the next generations”, he highlighted.
The ruling party presidential candidate also highlighted the role of “the legislators who voted for the solidarity tax and the authors of this project, Máximo Kirchner and Carlos Heller”, and also “those who paid” this tax, who will be sent “a letter with the result of the works and a thank you”.
“And to those who did not pay, they lost the possibility of being part of a milestone, although we are going to charge them the same, but they were not part of a milestone that millions of Argentines are going to enjoy,” said the head of the Palacio de Hacienda .
