The Minister of the Interior, Eduardo "Wado" de Pedro, assured this Friday that the head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta "always" knew that the City received more money than it was entitled to for the transfer of the police and that he is removing it from funds "

was a decision made

."

"The decision announced by the president corrected a great injustice. This injustice is also an immorality," Pedro said in a recorded announcement that was played on the presidential channels.

The chief minister said that "from the beginning of the year" the government spoke with Rodríguez Larreta "about the amount to be returned. It

was a decision taken

."

He remarked on Pedro that "the National Constitution establishes that the transfer of competences, functions and services must be done by law of Congress and with the corresponding resources", and launched that "the Macri government failed to comply with both."

"The transfer of the police was carried out by decree and the funds allocated for this purpose represented more than double the real cost for its operation. It is important to respect our Constitution and the operation of our institutions, always. Yesterday the Head of Government of the City announced that it will appeal to the Court. It

says that the norm is unilateral and inconsistent. This is not the case

. If they consider that this decree is unconstitutional, then so is the decree with which Macri arbitrarily and discretionally tripled government funds of the city ", questioned.

The decision of the national government increased the political tension between the ruling party and the opposition and seems to have broken the good relationship between President Alberto Fernández and the head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, who was very critical of the announcement of the head of state in a conference of press and announced that he will appeal to the Supreme Court.

Fernández, also during the announcement of works for Chubut, Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Tucumán and Tierra del Fuego, had assured that "no dialogue is broken" despite the decision to withdraw funds from the City, and warned that "sometimes some are hurt by giving up privileges. "

Decree 735/2020 was published this Thursday in the Official Gazette, signed by Alberto Fernández, Santiago Cafiero, Martín Guzmán and Pedro.

There, the guidelines for the creation of the Fiscal Strengthening Fund of the Province of Buenos Aires are established, with the money that the City will cease to receive.
