The Government of Mendoza was notified in the last few hours and has already received the contacts from Nation to begin planning a distribution of food that are retained in different sheds and that can be vital for people in extremely vulnerable situations.
It is expected that in the coming days the collaboration agreement for this distribution will be concrete. The operation will be with all the provinces, as with milk, although this time with a striking fact: the ministries of Human or Social Development were summoned and not the canteens, since they would be destined for schools. This occurs after the suspicions that the national government placed on these associations and after the scandal over the illegal sale of milk.
“We have been notified and we are in contact to find out details,” he confided to MDZ an official source of the Government of the province of Mendoza. “In the course of this week it will be defined,” they also officially highlighted, waiting to know what type of foods could reach Mendoza to be distributed. The signing of the agreement requires that there be a withdrawal of food by the provinces and will serve to establish the necessary quantities and types of food that each jurisdiction will obtain, schedules and deadlines will also be established.
In the sheds From Buenos Aires and Tucumán you can find foods such as: milk, yerba mate, sunflower oil, rice, vegetables, lentils and chickpeas, among others. This inventory was one of many that the Gendarmerie managed to collect after several operations inside the warehouses in which the stored merchandise was detailed.
Human Capital highlighted, for example, that it has not distributed the yerba mate that it has stored in the warehouses because a technical report did not allow it. In a latest statement, Pettovello’s portfolio highlights that the established parameters are met and that this food can be distributed now.
Although the provincial government hopes to know the details, these are some of the foods that could arrive in the province to be distributed in the most vulnerable areas. “We still do not know what may happen, we will have that clear in the coming days,” they clarified from the Social Development area of the province of Mendoza when asked by this medium.
The striking thing about the possible new operation that the Government of the Nation Regarding the distribution of food, on this occasion there will be no intermediaries. That is to say, this time there will be no agreement with foundations as there was with Conin for the distribution of the milk that was about to expire. The agreement that will be agreed upon will be directly with the provinces, as Mendoza notifies in this case.
On that occasion, the scandal of the milk distribution was that less than 24 hours after the operation had ended, the milk boxes were already published for sale in MarketPlace/Facebook and they were also offered by different civil associations to their members.
For this reason, Conin filed a complaint with the Mendoza Justice Department to initiate an investigation for embezzlement and the illegal sale of milk in Mendoza. The event reached other provinces and according to him he was able to know MDZIn San Luis and La Rioja, cases of this type of commercialization were also detected.
