In the midst of the dispute over the decision of the national government to withdraw funds from the City to help the province of Buenos Aires, President Alberto Fernández received this afternoon in Olivos the head of the Buenos Aires government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, and the Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillof.
The meeting, which will begin at 6 p.m. at the presidential residence, will serve to define the steps to follow in the fight against coronavirus at the AMBA, although it is not ruled out that there will be a subsequent meeting between the president and Rodríguez Larreta.
As Clarín reported, despite the tension that the Executive's decision triggered in the midst of the provincial police claim, it is the management of the pandemic that brings it closer.
The President and Rodríguez Larreta, who like never since March have spent a week without speaking, will once again be face to face.

Kicillof, benefited by the measure announced by the Government, did have contact with the Buenos Aires head of government.
It was through WhatsApp messages and there they decided that their trusted men would advance the health discussion.
Although the axis of the meeting in Olivos will be to define whether the same restrictions continue or a step forward with new flexibilities is taken, as the Buenos Aires Government wants, it is not ruled out that at some point Fernández and Rodríguez Larreta have a few minutes of talk in solitude as to try to iron out some of the differences.
One of the first approaches between officials of the national government and the city occurred this Wednesday, when the Chief of Staff, Santiago Cafiero, received his Buenos Aires counterpart, Felipe Miguel, and the provincial, Carlos Bianco.
"We did our part, we summoned the province and CABA as we had said. The coordination of the pandemic for us is central," they explained to

from the head of the national Cabinet.
