“With this agreement it is not that all the works were going to be reactivated, it was the signing of a framework agreement which would later have to be followed by signing specific agreements,” explained the minister.
When asked if the decision has anything to do with the Bases Law, Luna Corzo was forceful in stating that everything that can be said about it is speculative “we hope that this is a postponement and that La Rioja has the same treatment as all other provinces.
In the same sense, he indicated that this should be above any political issue, since it is about public works, jobs and everything that this implies.
In turn, he assured that since December 10, with the beginning of the two administrations, there was a predisposition to dialogue, not to imposition, which he directly related to the May Pact. Expressing that it did not occur because it was not given in the context of the dialogue, on the contrary, it was an imposition.
Along the same lines, he suggested that beyond the surprise, because from Friday to Monday there was a change of decisions regarding the signing of the agreement, he insisted on not making speculations.
In that context, he mentioned that “public works are not only stopped in La Rioja, but in the other provinces of the country.”
Another piece of information that the minister provided about the framework agreement is that housing works were not included in it. “Despite the fact that for the province it is the most important work and it was not included in it.”
