National Senator Alberto Weretilneck (Together We Are Río Negro) stated on Thursday that the construction of the Néstor Kirchner gas pipeline, announced by President Alberto Fernández“it is a very important, long-awaited and very transcendent work” for all Argentines.
“Let us think that we are standing on the second gas reserve in the world, which is a very important opportunity not only externally but also internally so that all Argentines can have access to something as important as gas to improve the quality of life”, said the Rio Negro legislator in statements to the press.
Weretilneck pointed out that “it will be able to generate an industrial takeoff in the country and the possibility of exporting so that Argentina is an important participant in the world gas market.”

Rioseco said that “it is a discussion that we owe ourselves because we have the Heavy Water Plant stopped, we have distilleries stopped and we lack gas oil and we have a plastic factory in the United States with gas from Vaca Muerta.”
