The Minister of Transportation of the Nation, Diego Giulianoaffirmed this Friday that the transfer of the bus lines that circulate through the City of Buenos Aires to the jurisdiction of CABA “is a matter of balance”, and of “equal treatment between the citizens of Argentina”.
In statements this Friday morning to Radio La Red, Giuliano said that “the dilemma must stop being a dilemma and be one of the answers. It is a question of balance, with equal treatment between the citizens of Argentina”.
“It has to do –he continued- with the distortions of the transportation system and it has causes. A distortion was generated that today we are trying to overcome. It is necessary that CABA accept the competence that by law it is obliged to have, to sustain its own transport, but it is autonomy or not autonomy, according to convenience.
He then added that “we must make it clear that we have been discussing this issue for a year. At yesterday’s meeting (for this Thursday) we raised the need for CABA to design and supervise its own transportation, but we are not going to retire in assistance, in aid. What we do is deepen the dialogue until progress is made in minutes, possible agreements, we raise a gradual issue, ”he asserted.
“What we want is that the autonomy for convenience proposed by CABA is an autonomy with responsibility”Diego Giuliano
“Times and roads are shortening, we need to have a response from the Government of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta on the subject. About the deadline, the month of February is where we expect CABA to present a response on this issue. The Province of Buenos Aires maintains its own transport, what we want is that the autonomy for convenience that CABA proposes is an autonomy with responsibility”, the minister asserted.
He warned, however, that the judicial route may “be the obligatory path in the event that there is no type of dialogue possible” and recalled, regarding the recent ticket increase, that “a single ticket increase was made in January. The AMBA rate was frozen for a long time.
However, he advanced that they do not have “any other increase planned than the one that was implemented in the month of January”.
