In Huincul Square, city that until now did not have it under treatment, will begin to debate the application of the so-called road tax, which is the 4.5% charge on fuel charges by motorists. The project reached the Deliberative although it will only take next week parliamentary state and your analysis will begin. Cutral Co already has it approved and its application will be imminent.
Confirmation of the project’s entry into the legislature was given by the president of the Deliberative Committee himself, Daniel Vidondo. This Tuesday there was an ordinary session, however, as the initiative was raised on Monday, it did not become part of the correspondence entered, and it will only take parliamentary status next week.
Once this happens, it will go to commission so that the councilors can analyze and give their opinion on whether it can be approved or not. In Plaza Huincul, the ruling Community bloc does not have its own majority. The constitution is distributed: Vidondo (in the presidency) together with Liliana Gords represent the same space as the mayor Claudio Larraza.
While Viviana Casado entered as a Community collector, but represents Juntos por Plaza. Then there is the one-man block of Fernando Doroschenco (Frente y la Participación Neuquina); plus the Neuquén Popular Movement with former mayor Gustavo Suárez and Marga Yunes. And Sebastián Ávila from the MID.
The incorporation of a rate to the tariff ordinance requires an aggravated majority, not a simple one, that is, five of the seven votes. The discussion is expected to be extensive.
Governor Figueroa’s support for the application of the rate
When the Governor Rolando Figueroa was in Cutral Co last week to inaugurate the expansion of the local hospital guard, referred to the road tax and congratulated the municipalities that they had already approved it and some began to charge them. All this in the context of the removal of transportation subsidies that the national government of Javier Milei resolved.
«I applaud your courage, several mayors are working back to back. Demagoguery is not done by deceiving and lying to people. “When one has to govern, he looks in the face and tells himself how things are,” Figueroa had said on that occasion.
However, Huincul had not yet made the attempt to analyze the project that, depending on the case, is called urban mobility or road emergency.
In Cutral Co the application is imminent after it was approved last May. San Martín de los Andes also collected it, as did Centenario, which started it this Monday.
