Austerity, transparency, openness and modernization
Regarding one of its main axes, that of the commitment to be the “most austere, most transparent, most open and most modern” government in the history of Entre Ríos, Frigerio insisted that “it can be managed without money and we are all demonstrating it.” the days”.
In this framework, he indicated the progress in the presentation of bills in the Legislature, such as: the elimination of privilege retirements, political and electoral reform, public ethics, clean record and government transition.
As an example, he cited that, for the first time, a governor signed his digital signature and launched an agreement with the Nation to generate an electronic records system.
Moral contract with citizens
Frigerio had promised to “end the privileges” of the political class. “We have made a lot of progress in terms of management transparency, with concrete facts, with political decisions and also with discussions in the Legislature,” he highlighted.
It was a reference, for example, to the bill presented in the Legislative Branch to repeal the lifetime pension for governors and vice-governors of the province. Likewise, to the organization of the teacher assignment system, eliminating 1,000 of the 1,300 that existed, generating savings of 500 million pesos per month to be reinvested in better educational quality.
Job
Regarding job creation and support for the productive sector, the granting of credit lines for 5,000 million pesos for our small and medium-sized producers stood out, with a very convenient rate of 16.17 percent, subsidized by the province.
Also the sanction of the law to allocate 50 percent of the proceeds from the rural real estate tax to improve production roads. “In fact, we have already recovered more than 50 road machines and intervened thousands of kilometers in these months,” he said.
Education
Referring to another central line, education, the president reported on the implementation of the Provincial Literacy Plan, for primary level students, with the delivery of more than 100,000 books in 500 schools in the province.
“Take care of those who take care of us”
It was an insistent phrase from the governor to recognize the work of the police. Vehicles that officials from previous administrations used for personal use were reassigned to the force and increases were decided for police personnel of codes 286 (which establishes risk tasks) and 244 (for driving positions), plus the fixed sum.
At the same time, he made the political decision that “our Police is on the streets” and announced, within the framework of the reorganization, the creation of the Administrative Career in the Police Force.
As for the nurses, Frigerio announced that it was decided to pay more than 1.5 billion pesos to the staff for the francs accumulated in previous years, a methodology that was used as compensation for work outside of hours. Furthermore, to put an end to this practice, from now on, he ordered the implementation of the Extended Working Day item.
Public work
“We need a State that really cares about these things and that, with management, begins to change this reality,” he said countless times on this topic.
Related to this, an agreement was reached with the contracting companies to pay the large inherited debt and reactivate public works in the province. Progress was also made on a strategic plan for public works between the public and private sectors.
“Defend what is ours”
It was the concept chosen by Frigerio to mention the administrative and judicial claim for pension funds and payments of royalties and surpluses from the Salto Grande dam that the Nation owes to the province.
The debt of the National Social Security Administration (Anses) amounts to 154,000 million pesos and the debt for Salto Grande reaches 4,000 million pesos.
Emergency care
“You have to be there when these things happen,” was the phrase that the governor repeated in reference to state assistance in the face of events such as heavy rains and floods, which affected different Entre Ríos populations and motivated the availability of resources, personnel, logistics and joint work. with the armed and security forces, firefighters, Emergency Operations Centers (COE) and municipalities.
“We are not a government that likes to be locked up. We are a government that feels the obligation and responsibility to walk and be in the province. “We are implementing the change that we Entre Ríos people chose,” he analyzed, at the end of his self-assessment.
