The deputy of the Front of All (FdT) itai hagman affirmed that the opposition and the Supreme Court of Justice seek to apply a “strong policy of delegitimization of republican institutions democratic” and accused the highest court of “playing politically” for the ruling in favor of the city of Buenos Aires on co-participating resources. The president of the Buenos Aires Solidarity Party (PSOL), big charles and a communiqué from La CAME (Argentine Confederation of Medium Enterprises) spoke along the same lines.
However, Hagman recalled that the decision of the highest court “does not resolve the substantive discussion” and reiterated that “he is playing politically, after being exposed that They are not an independent Justice“. “It’s important that we try to connect the facts and see what the movie is. We are in a country where the vice president (Cristina Fernández) was almost killed, condemned and practically led to a situation of virtual proscription,” she said in dialogue with El Destape Radio.
For his part, the president of the Buenos Aires Solidarity Party (PSOL), Carlos Grande, considered that the ruling of the Supreme Court that ordered the national government to allocate the 2.95% of the volume of co-participating taxes to the city of Buenos Aires “does not hide its clear favoritism for the opposition and privileged sectors”. “The Supreme Court reconfigures the basic pillars of democracy and federalism by restoring the distribution of co-participating funds that the Nation had arranged in 2020,” he said in a statement.
And he recalled that “at that time, the two national legislators of the PSOL, Carlos Heller and Eduardo Fernández, accompanied with their positive vote the project to revert the excessive transfer of resources to the CABA“. “All Argentines, including the inhabitants of the province of Buenos Aires, have contributed extra money to the City since 2016 by decree of the former president Mauricio Macri. Thus, we gave up part of our wealth and our taxes, just because the previous government belonged to the same political sign and exhibited a similar neoliberal ideology as that of CABA”, he highlighted.
“Specifically, $126,000 million was transferred to CABA in little more than three years, when the correct amount would have been $40,000 million,” he said, noting that the resources recovered by the Nation in the last two years, and that he now orders to reverse the Court, “allowed – throughout the country – to reinforce items for health, social services, infrastructure (road, sanitary, water works, housing plans), education, security and to grant incentives to production, sustain and generate jobs”.
For its part, the Argentine Confederation of Medium Enterprises (CAME) expressed its “concern” about the situation generated by “the implications of the ruling” of the Supreme Court of Justice in favor of the City of Buenos Aires regarding co-participating resources. In a statement entitled “Institutionality and federalism”, he warned of his “concern about the situation that the implications of the ruling have generated” and stressed that “the Federal Co-participation, as a system of constitutional rank, coordinates the distribution of the proceeds of the taxes imposed by the Federal State between the provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires”.
The CAME, “as a federal business union institution, calls for the rresponsibility of the political leadership to find a solution to the conflict whose derivations, beyond political issues, will have a direct impact on the Argentine population. From the entity the urgent need to establish a mechanism for the distribution of equitable resources for all the provinces of the national territory“, the statement concluded.
