Guillermo Francos vetoed the return of transportation subsidies
After the dissolution of the Interior Compensation Fundwhich regulated transportation subsidies and allowed the price of the bus ticket to be supported, Francos reiterated that It is not in the Government’s plans to revive it.
On the subject, the former Minister of the Interior said that “there will be no national subsidies for provincial transportation.” “These are provincial issues, which the provinces have to resolve. We can discuss, and we are always open to doing so, the national tax system and Co-participation. Surely our Government will have a proposal to reformulate the national tax system,” Indian.
In that vein, he said that “we cannot declaim federalism and ask for subsidies from the Nation” and explained: “Federalism implies that the province collects its taxes and receives other national taxes that are from Co-participation and uses them for the management of the province. If each Whenever he needs it, he asks the Nation for subsidies, a system is generated that is a hieroglyph“.
“If when you need money the Nation is responsible, then these types of mechanisms are requested and the entire State becomes complicated. What needs to be modified are the underlying issues. We have a federal system in the Constitution: let’s apply it,” he concluded.
