This Tuesday, the Nation made a first commitment with the provincial government to restart some nationally financed works.
It was agreed – it even emerged that there were agreements signed – which paralyzed constructions are part of that execution priority. This was recorded in that list those roads, such as Routes 22, 23 and 151, and also a part of Enohsa’s sanitation projects, with exclusive international financing.
Instead, The remaining executions – such as hospitals and bus terminals – are not among the established preferences and, consequently, will not have more national financing.
These definitions were proposed by the head of the National Public Works portfolio, Luis Giovine, with the director of Enohsa, Vicente Heredia, the minister of the Río Negro area, Alejandro Echarren, which was attended by the Superintendent of the DPA, Pedro Sánchez.
This hearing was agreed upon several weeks ago, which was postponed twice, and It now coincided with the different negotiations that Governor Weretilneck is carrying out simultaneously in the Federal Capital with national representatives for the vote of Senator Mónica Silva for the Bases law.
So, This first meeting served -exclusively- to define objectives and works of the Nation, leaving pending to specify amounts and financing mechanisms.either. That’s for later.
Rio Negro officials heard how their national counterparts were freed from the remaining constructions in Río Negro although they insisted on collecting the amounts owed to the Province for agreed upon shared financing projects, such as the Bariloche hospital.
This point was integrated into the agenda to delve into the next meeting between both heads of Public Works.
Besides, Echarren requested some appreciation of Río Negro’s request for the transfers of national routes 22 and 151. At that point, Giovine did not elaborate on definitions but promised that the Rio Negro request will also be evaluated in the second meeting.
Specific, Nation – without deadlines yet – will continue with the execution of routes 22, 23 and 151 while The Enohsa constructions that will be resumed will be exclusively Roca and Catriel sewer networks.
With the tender completed and resources from the IDB, the repaving of provincial routes 6 and 8 would also be part of the constructions with a positive approval from the Nation.
