The Great North Parliament will continue this Friday the debates in the province of Jujuy to advance in the analysis of equality policies that favor that region of the country, with the participation of the Chief of Staff, Juan Manzur.
The lieutenant governors and legislators of the ten provinces that make up the Parliament of the Great North began the meeting on Thursday in San Salvador de Jujuy, which takes place in a hotel located on the outskirts of the capital of Jujuy.

The deputy governor of Jujuy, Carlos Haquim, was the host and in charge of welcoming his peers and leaders from the northern provinces and Manzur participates on the second day, official sources reported.
On Thursday, the representatives of the ten provinces were divided into the commissions of Health, Prevention and Inclusion, Constitutional Affairs and General Legislation, Education, Modernization, Science and Technology, Natural Resources, Mining and Environment, Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Livestock .
To which were added the commissions for Tourism, Sports and Culture, Works, Infrastructure and Transport, Security, Justice and Human Rights, Consumer Rights, Users and Public Services, Gender, Women, Diversity and Equality, Work, Social Security and Taxes ; and Economy, Planning and Investment.
In the commissions, the layout of “proposals to bring national legislators closer to ending the asymmetries and inequalities between the center of the country and the northern provinces” is being carried out, the parliamentary spokesmen indicated.
For his part, the PJ deputy from Jujuy, Pedro Belizán, explained that the meeting of commissions is seeking “to unite criteria for the benefits of the Norte Grande to cut with the asymmetries that exist with the provinces of the interior with the concentrated sectors.”
“We understand that not all provinces are recognized in the same way in relation to the granting of transportation and energy subsidies,” he said and celebrated the integration of the current discussions to the provinces of the NEA “with which we are united by the same claims”.
Among the proposals being analyzed is the request for paving and putting value on sections of Route 40, “which will benefit five provinces in northern Argentina that will also help production while shortening distances with the towns,” said Belizán .
“The goal is to join forces to assert ourselves as an important part of the country for the benefit of our region, generating proposals that are later ratified in the National Congress,” concluded the legislator from Jujuy.
