And it adds that “the delays that are taking place in the notarial procedures are not attributable to the notaries, but rather a consequence of the conflict between the employees of the RPI Province of Buenos Aires and the agency, which seriously alters the registry service.”

We have civil and criminal responsibilities,” they said from the sector in conflict.
