The Buenos Aires Front of All (FdT) is preparing a forum for next Saturday to synthesize its proposals for the 2023 elections and take stock of the 15 years of government of Mauricio Macri and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta in the district.
The meeting will be held at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) with the slogan “15 years of government for few – Forum for a City for all”, and will begin at 9, to close at 12 with an act.
About, Télam spoke with Mariano Recalde, national senator of the FdT for the city of Buenos Aires and president of the Buenos Aires Justicialist Party (PJ)who considered that the balance of the 15 years of PRO governments in the district shows a “failure in all areas.”
“The amount of population (in the city) is the same, but there are more people living in villas,” he said.and added that, in parallel, “there are empty houses, less and less owners and more people who rent”.
Regarding education, mentioned the “building problems” in the Buenos Aires schools, the “lack of vacancies” and the decrease in enrollment in the public system while “the number of families increases” that resort to private establishments.
Regarding transportation, Recalde stated: “Not only were the 10 kilometers of subways not built, but we are very behind compared to other Latin American capitals.”; and when referring to health, he maintained that “In 15 years not a single hospital was built and they tried to close four”.
Recalde also indicated that this is happening while the Buenos Aires government has a “giant budget.”

Last Thursday, Together for Change (JxC) approved in the Buenos Aires Legislature an annual budget of 2,154 million pesos for 2023, which will surely be expanded throughout the year.
The senator also spoke of the security policy of Rodríguez Larreta, and said that the City Police is used to “persecute opponents”while the proposal of the FdT is a “more democratic force that takes care of the neighbors”.
This and other initiatives will be part of the meeting on November 19, to which the leaders of the Buenos Aires FdT will arrive after having worked since the middle of this year in 15 commissions, one for each management area.
In the commissions, militants, specialists, trade unionists, legislators and other political and social referents elaborated a “clear diagnosis, exchanged data and updated the proposal” of the FdT, explained Recalde.
Thus, the legislator valued the importance of preparing this diagnosis, since due to the “expenditure on advertising and media protection” of the Government of Rodríguez Larreta, “there are obvious, evident things that we do not have so much in mind”, such as the “dozens of thousands of kids without school vacancies.
Other proposals that will be made next Saturday include “increasing the education budget” and “housing access policies” to “not continue expelling the porteños” from the city, Recalde added.
During the meeting, in addition to the work in commissions, there will be panels that will moderate the discussion.
Afterwards, an act will be held outside the Faculty, located in Santiago del Estero 1029, headed by leaders from all sectors of the FDT.
