The block of deputies of the Neuquén Popular Movement voted for the first time divided into a key project for the management of Governor Rolando Figueroa.
It was a vote on an article of Law 3439 that gave the Executive power to set a rate for the toll collection on provincial routes and in which the national government can transfer them.
In the particular treatment, modifications were proposed such as adding more routes to the prioritized ones, a request that was promoted by the legislator Daniela Rucci (MPN). She requested that in addition to 7, 17, 51 and 67, 6, 5 and 8 be incorporated for the benefit of the entire surrounding area. to his city of origin: Rincón de los Sauces and also Barrancas and Buta Ranquil.
The dispute was when the article began to be discussed, which has confusing wording and indicates that the government can except up to 99 percent of the vehicles located in the province.
The deputy Lorena Parrilli (Unión por la Patria) had warned that the wording could give rise to a broad interpretation and it was then that Rucci askedor change to a more forceful wording that said that light vehicles patented in Neuquén were exempt.
Your pair Paola Cabezas said that she was not going to support a law that would place a burden on those who came from Plaza Huincul to Neuquén for medical treatments.icos or by procedures.
The position originated the discordance of Yamila Hermosilla (Community) who brought out that in April of last year he had gained a political position in the Province, in reference to Rolando Figueroa, that did not coincide with the traditional one and that he had to govern. She, she said, was capable of standing up to her city (Cutral Co) to defend the toll collection.
The counterpoint was entertaining until it was time to vote on the article. The original confusing wording was approved by 22 votes and 8 against. The 8 who voted against were three from the MPN: Gerardo Gutiérrez, Cabezas and Rucci; three from Union for the Homeland; César Gass from Together for Change and Cecilia Papa from Hacemos Neuquén.
Francisco Lepore (Community) proposed «dminor modifications in the wording. In article 4, Route 6 must be incorporated and at the end of the article tender the collection in conjunction with another province, instead of ‘new’ it must be put ‘other‘. In article 5, section A, construction costs must include partial or national improvements transferred to the province.
Tomás Blanco (FIT) stated that he rejected all the articles of the project: «They foresee the possibility of ceding national routes and establishing an interprovincial relationship with Río Negro to iimplement the toll. “We are going to reject all articles because they materialize our worst fears.”
Daniela Rucci (MPN) emphasized the need to improve road infrastructure, especially on Route 8 and Route 6: «It is essential to include Buta Ranquil and Barrancas in the project, and ensure the necessary maintenance. Pr“I oppose that resources can be reallocated by decision of the EP for the maintenance and conservation of other paved and unpaved provincial routes, including those that connect border crossings whose state requires it.”
Rucci also insisted on the importance of exempting light vehicles located in the province from paying the toll: “EIt is crucial that all citizens who travel the routes have a tool that excludes them from payment. We must guarantee this exception for those who travel for medical reasons or procedures.
Darío Martínez warned about the impact of the toll on the lives of Neuquéns: «This article makes the lives of all Neuquéns more expensive.. Any neighbor who has to come to the doctor in Neuquén will be affected«. Lorena Parrilli supported this concern, asking for a roll-call vote on the article that spoke of the 99% exception for light vehicles.
Paola Cabezas stressed the need for clarity in the law: «Cutral Co and Plaza Huincul travel towards Añelo on Route 17. It is essential that private vehicles located in the province are exempt from paying the toll.
Claudio Dominguez raised the ambiguity of the project regarding oil company vehicles: «The governor promised that private vehicles would not be charged. ¿Does the oil company’s light vehicle pay or not pay? “We have to be clear about this.”
Yamila Hermosilla expressed her support for the project, while Cabezas criticized the attitude of some deputies: «We support the modified version, but we must be honest and recognize our responsibilities in the previous government. “Let’s take off our mask”.
Finally, Daniela Rucci He defended the need for debate on the premises: «It was necessary for the debate to be held here. The People who speak on behalf of the government must understand that the people legitimized a president who takes measures for everyone. “We must continue to defend the people of Neuquén, even if it means going against our blockmates.”
