He gathered and elected authorities for the 2025-2026 period
In the premises of the National Culture Center, former Videoconferencia Room of Antel met the Federation of Mayors of Cerro Largo.
It worked fundamentally based on issues related to the secondary road network of the department (roads) and the new authorities that will be in charge of the body in the first year of the new period of departmental government were elected.
“We took the decision of the companions by surprise. Some had already been treated internally, which surprised both of me and Cristina the companion mayor of Arévalo who assumed as vice president. It is a new challenge that we have, not in the best circumstances due to the economic crisis that we live at the departmental level. To these municipalities of the department. The new president of the Federation of Mayors of Cerro Largo promised.
In complex times from the financial point of view for the intention, which impacts directly on municipal governments, it must be appealed to the experience of a mayor who already has 5 years of management. To this is added the confidence of the other heads of local governments. “That is fundamental and it is very appreciated. 5 years ago we were new, today we cannot say that we are new, we are not in a new municipality, that title we leave for the municipality of the lagoon to which we must support a lot too. All the experience we have acquired in these years we want to transfer it to the mayors who are exercising for the first time. They have to provide all the support, all the knowledge. It is a very complex job. said Daniel Segade.
Rural road
The rural road of the department was one of the main issues that was in the debate.
“It is an aspect in which there is a lot to work, we know that there is a fairly complex situation that is not now, which comes from a lot of time, a kind of crisis in rural road” He pointed out.
“The departmental government comes with many changes, positive changes, good changes, to which we have to adapt, to which as a federation of mayors we have to add more things to improve. Yes at some point we are wrong we will have to correct what is done wrong” said. “What we do see is a good disposition by the mayor in terms of improving resources for rural road, economic resources above all” highlighted.
“We are satisfied beyond that there have been some inconveniences by said those who have appeared that the mayors were not going to have more interference in what is the disqualification of roads” Segade raised. “That has been aiming. While in my case I have not been able to do it because we have not had the resources, the mayors who make a lot added.
Road maintenance
In the specific case of Bañado de Medina, where the municipality does not have adequate machinery to make a road, the idea is that the work is planned by the intention. “Then the municipality would have to be prepared to maintain that road. That is fundamental” considered the president of the Federation of Mayors.
In 2026 both the intendencies and the municipal governments will receive a new five -year budget that they hope is above the one that is being executed at this time. “Taking into account those things, one can save money, have extra items for this type of maintenance. The intention makes the road and the municipality undertakes to hire a backhoe in case of not having it to improve the drains, one of the most important problems in the road: when the ditches are covered the water, the water begins to pass over the road and breaks it in a short time. Then the bump must Balasto, see a nearby quarry to follow up that path so as not to allow it to deteriorate too much because it is much more difficult to make it new ” Daniel Segade based
