Jorge Macri, the head of the Buenos Aires city government, provided details of the co-participation agreement following repeated negotiations with the administration failed to conclude.. In this sense, the mayor of Buenos Aires revealed that not only the deadline set by the Supreme Court for the national government to send funds (August 1) must be met, but also the percentage (2.95%).

In conversation radio rivadaviaMacri mentioned that as a result of this agreement, mainly between him and the Minister of Economy, CABA will “increase between $80,000 and $90 billion per month” Louis Caputo. «We put in a lot of effort in the first six months“We support the government because it has done a great job with the macro data, but a month and a half or two months ago we started throwing up our hands and saying ‘this is it, we need the Supreme Court ruling to be fulfilled’,” the mayor noted.

“The minister made a commitment and finally yesterday we had a very good meeting where we reviewed all aspects,” said the head of government, acknowledging that he was in constant dialogue with former President Mauricio Macri on this issue. In addition, he confirmed that GCBA has become more firm in its stance following the passage of the Basic Law and hopes to consolidate a relationship with the government that goes beyond transactional nature.

Jorge Macri also raised the distinction between city and country, which is why the court discussed it. “The good news is that the state and city government will present a proposal for a final agreement to the courts to finally resolve this issue. This is good because courts generally expect that issues arising from politics will be resolved by politics, not the other way around. So the first few days We can now solve problems that previous administrations mightn’t solve,” he explained.

Asked regarding the retroactive request for the funds – that is, the transfer of funds that have not been disbursed since 2020 – Macri said the state “has its reasons” while CABA insists it is a debt. “Obviously, part of the discussion is previous debt, debt accumulated over the years,” the Buenos Aires boss insisted.

“They went from 3.5% to 1.5% and now [con el acuerdo] It was 2.95%, almost double what we originally charged, but still lower than what we proposed. National has an argument that it’s not 3.5 per cent because this or that expense occurred, it went to court for a reason and there’s a different view,” he added.

Jorge Macri asks the state to hand over important sites to municipalities

In another part of his conversation with journalist Deborah Prager, he said there are things “that are handled by the state” but that “are inappropriate for the state to handle.” “We are the only city that does not have control over its own port. For Rosario it is important, for Mar del Plata it is important… We, there is no way, we look at it from the outside. Also There is a Retiro bus terminal run by the national government. “The list is long,” he explains.

«The Hacienda de Lignier market left and, fortunately, it went to Canulas. These lands belong to the state and are not used. I provide them with security from being usurped, which sadly we have abandoned in the heart of our cities. This can also be part of the agreement,” Jorge Macri said.
