"We invite, then, the Municipality of
Tres de Febrero
and its
mayor, Diego Valenzuela
."
After that presentation that they made to him in the Salón Dorado, in La Plata, the communal chief of that
municipality in the western zone
of Greater Buenos Aires once again took advantage of a public act to make a claim that the opposition has been repeating: that from the provincial government compensate the Municipalities that would have lost co-participation resources for the alleged falsification of the results of the 2010 census in La Matanza.
After having brought a symbolic check to the last inauguration of ordinary sessions of the Deliberative Council of his municipality and discussing out loud with councilor Juan Debandi, the main reference for the local La Cámpora, Valenzuela now took advantage of direct contact with the governor
.
The
mayor of Juntos por el Cambio
, who has been
in charge of the Commune since 2015
, chose to
convey
his discontent over the situation that he himself has been denouncing, along with other PRO leaders such as deputy Martín Tetaz, at least since 2022, when the new INDEC population survey was carried out.
On this occasion, the Cambiemite mayor decided
to hand-deliver a letter to Axel Kicillof
at the time of signing an agreement so that his district receives, fairly, provincial funds to carry out infrastructure works.
It is a program that in this 2023 distributes $45,500 million for the execution of 223 projects in the 135 Buenos Aires districts.
"I came to La Plata to sign the 'Municipios a la Obra' agreement and
I left a letter asking for compensation to the municipalities that we lost resources
due to the
adulteration of the 2010 census in La Matanza
," confirmed Valenzuela, who before signing the agreement and After his presentation, he approached where the governor was.
At the point where Kicillof was waiting for him,
Valenzuela approached him, greeted him
with a kiss on the cheek,
grabbed a pen
and went to the table where the documentation of the program that will benefit the GBA districts rested.
The mayor
looked at the sheets and signed
.
Then, he took the envelope
containing the written claim
out of one of his left pockets
and handed it to the governor
, who made a gesture of astonishment and
ended up receiving the letter with both hands
before patting the mayor on the shoulder.
The mayor of Tres de Febrero shared the letter he left with Governor Axel Kicillof on the networks.
"I left a letter to the governor asking him
not to forget the 2010 census issue in La Matanza
and its
negative effects on our municipalities
," explained the communal chief of Tres de Febrero, who reported what happened with the publication of a video on his social networks.
"I take this opportunity to leave you this letter with the claim that we continue to make about the 2010 census. Over 12 years,
the municipal co-participation was poorly distributed
. And
we need to correct
this .
I hope for results and solutions
, that they listen to us," he explained.
What he wrote in the letter
Valenzuela himself shared the content of the letter in question, which asks the provincial authority "to
urgently consider updating the
municipal co-participation according to the data from the new 2022 census" known in January 2023.
"It does not seem to make sense that, having a new official source, the Province continues to use obsolete data for the calculation of the Single Distribution Coefficient. Resources continue to be distributed with
inaccurate information
, generating even more distortions in the secondary co-participation system," it reads in another passage the letter.
Diego Valenzuela, mayor of Tres de Febrero, delivered a letter to Axel Kicillof asking for compensation.
He also
points out that "if a municipality gains participation in the CUD, it does so to the detriment of the other 134"
and that "the alleged adulteration of the 2010 census data in the case of the population of La Matanza has caused distortions" throughout of the last dozen years in the territory that Valenzuela governs.
"
The amount that we would have stopped receiving could amount to 1,645 million pesos
, at 2023 values," he says.
And he concludes: "With respect and conviction,
I ask you to kindly convene a technical and political table with mayors from the various forces
to discuss and guide a prompt solution to this fair claim."
To La Cámpora: "Give back what was stolen"
Valenzuela had already made a strong claim for co-participation in the
last section of his speech at the opening of the ordinary sessions of the Deliberative Council.
On that occasion,
the
communal chief
showed a giant check
with the amount that Kicillof should return to Tres de Febrero -according to the mayor's estimates- for the alleged miscalculation of the co-participation based on suspicions of manipulation in the number of the population of La Matanza in the 2010 census.
Diego Valenzuela, opposition mayor of Tres de Febrero, met Juan Debandi, a councilor and leader of La Cámpora, at the opening of sessions of the Deliberative Council.
"
'Return the one that was stolen,'
" the man from Together for Change told the local legislators of the Frente de Todos, who with Juan Debandi (the main reference for La Cámpora in the district) at the head were angry and dissatisfied with the accusations of the mayor about the distribution of funds.
"
It is money from the residents of Tres de Febrero
. This is the check that Kicillof has to sign, recovering the resources that they took from us," Valenzuela shot at that time.
