In another open front due to the dispute over resources, the amparo has already been submitted to the Supreme Court to try to stop Alberto Fernández from cutting co-participation, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta will face the
discussion on the estimated funds for the operation of security
in the City after the transfer of the Federal Police.
In the project that will begin to be discussed this Monday in the Senate, the Nation set them at $ 24,500 million.
For the Buenos Aires government the calculation is
more than double
: $ 63,000 million for this 2020.
With a meeting agenda loaded in recent days, which included the reunion with the President after the decree to lower the co-participation to the City from 3.5% to 2.32%, Rodríguez Larreta insisted with his predisposition to dialogue at the same time that he ratified that he will fight
"in all areas"
to try to stop the removal.
Members of the City Police.
“We are going to confront them, from the institutional point of view, to defend the resources.
Where do they get the number?
They didn't explain anything to us
,
”
said the head of government in a virtual meeting with legislators, referring to the Nation's estimate.
Article 2 of the project sets the cost for the transfer of the Federal Police to the City at $ 24,500 million per year, and establishes as an update an index composed of 80% for the average salary of force agents and another 20% for the CPI.
If sanctioned, the co-participation will remain at 1.4%.
The treatment will start this Monday afternoon in a plenary session of the Senate Budget and Constitutional Affairs committees.
Cristina Kirchner
will seek to advance quickly
and the legislators of Together for Change were resigned.
"We are going to give the debate, but they have the number," discounted a PRO member.
For the Casa Rosada, Mauricio Macri
exceeded the increase
in co-participation to the City in 2016, and the PRO stronghold received about $ 125 billion more since that date.
The Buenos Aires government will reply with another calculation.
The operation of the City Police will demand
$ 63,000 million this year
, according to the account at the Uspallata headquarters that includes salaries, equipment, technology and maintenance of the police stations, among other expenses.
Without considering firefighters, the Government Control Agency and custodians of agents in establishments, clarified, items with which it would amount to $ 75,000 million.
“We do not know based on what they take the project figure, because they did not tell us anything.
It could be that it is based on the first quarter of 2016, when the transition took place, but there it started and
that was a photo, not the movie
”, they launched as a conjecture in the City, and added that the transfer of competences covers the power of determine the security policy.
Deputy Álvaro González, in the electoral campaign last year.
“This unannounced decision
stifles the City
in the midst of budget execution.
The expense is for a security service, not only the salary of the policemen nor for the Buenos Aires only: also for the three million Buenos Aires residents who enter every day, ”said PRO deputy
Alvaro González
.
In addition to the amount, the Buenos Aires administration questioned the change in methodology.
“The project aggravates what the decree established.
The sharing is automatic.
Now it
would depend on the will of an official
who transfers that money every month.
With the transfer of part of the criminal justice, an agreement was signed, but from 2008 to 2015 the transfer of funds was zero, "said Martín Mura -minister of Finance- to Radio Ciudad.
With Attorney Gabriel Astarloa, the official prepared the presentation before the Supreme Court, in which they argued that the Nation "cannot unilaterally subtract" co-participation and that "it constitutes a clear violation of the Constitution, the federal regime and the autonomy" of the district.
The protection in turn seeks to stop the pruning of about $ 150 million per day, which if maintained will add about $ 13 billion in the remainder of the year and another $ 53 billion in 2021.
“The strongest thing is that it happens in the middle of the pandemic, when the situation was already serious.
This makes us
review absolutely everything
programmed, "added Mura about the preparation of the next Budget.
As
Clarín said
, the collection in the City fell due to the drop in Gross Income (13% in real terms) and delinquency in the ABL (50%) and patents, above 60%.
Mura estimated the loss of revenue at $ 80 billion and the increase in expenses from the pandemic at $ 20 billion, out of a total budget of $ 480 billion.
