The Minister of Infrastructure, Public Services and Habitat of the province, Silvina Frana, assured that The objective of the Government is not to stop the work plan in progress. Although he admitted that as a consequence of the financial crisis resulting from the drought and inflation, the execution of some of them could slow down and that each of the works underway and awarded will also be analyzed on a case-by-case basis to establish an order of priorities in accordance with financial possibilities.
“We had been talking with the companies, with different representatives of the chambers and we agreed to a meeting last week where something was put on the table that does not need to be explained much, which is the economic context in general, the inflationary issue, right at that The increase in the dollar had happened during the week, so although the chamber had been warning that many companies had difficulties with some works, at that meeting A program and a permanent work table were agreed upon”explained the minister.

“From this decision – Frana continued – with each one of the areas, with each one of the secretariats and decentralized organizations, today we are seeing work by work and company by company with a very specific slogan, that is that the public work does not stop and see in each situation what things can be solved to pay what is owed since today there is a debt, it is not great, but there is a debt with the companies that we are trying to reduce, so, some works that are about to finish, possibly are finished, we will work so that they are finished. Some works that have just started may slow down a bit.”
The idea of going work by work is based on the importance of the work and the state of progress of these. “There are some that can no longer be slowed down because they are close to ending, so you have to finish them. There are others that may have just started, so there it can be slowed down, there are others that due to the characteristics of the work will not be able to slow down and there are others that there are tenders that have not yet been awarded that perhaps we will wait a bit to adjudicate, according to what the Governor indicated to us, in such a way as to first accommodate the scenario of what is underway so as not to stop works, so as not to generate debt for the coming management, as happens to us, and to be able to adjudicate when the scenario is settled; Let’s hope it’s soon,” Frana explained.
