A deputy from the Frente de Todos opposed the use of the resources of the anticyclical fund to alleviate the red of the retirement fund of the Social Security Institute of Neuquén, position that generated anger on the part of the State Workers Association, ATE, who had no qualms in describing the block as “The front of a few«.
Legislator Darío Peralta criticized the initiative to use the Neuquén Stabilization and Development Fund to cover current expenses by the provincial government. He clarified that The government of Omar Gutiérrez agrees with him because at the time he was opposed to buying dollars and United States treasury bonds while debts in that currency had to be paid.
The General Secretary of ATE Neuquén, Carlos Quintriqueo, explained his political position and recalled that the union had presented a law at the time to avoid imbalance in the ISSN but that it was never discussed, not even in commission in the Legislature.
«Once again it surprises, how deputies deputies of the bloc of the “in front of a feware opposed to using the resources of the anti-cyclical fund to finance the ISSN box”, affirmed the trade unionist.
Governor Gutiérrez’s initiative to use lThe resources of the Neuquén Stabilization and Development Fund to cover current expenses, paying debt and covering the deficit of the Neuquén Social Security Institute “is a clear indicator of the mismanagement of provincial resources,” Peralta assessed.
ATE Neuquén recalled that since 2016, “the legislature has boxed” a bill that it presented and that in all these years, no legislator “he was encouraged to treat it, we intuit, that not even to study it seriously ».
The project proposed the creation of a fund taking parts of the royalties, the elimination of privilege retirements that «gThey generate the largest deficit of the retirement fund, according to the latest published data.
The anticyclical fund was presented as a tool to be used in times of natural catastrophes or economic crises and was embodied in provincial law 3269, which explicitly prohibits its use for other purposes.
Peralta stressed that “The fund was not created to cover current expenses or pay accumulated debts. The fact that we are considering using these funds for this purpose is a reflection of an administration that has not been able to efficiently manage the province’s resources.”
Quintriqueo found it striking that the deputies, even knowing the worrying situation of the ISSN, “decide to maintain their privileges at the expense of the retirements of thousands of workers«.
He launched that “they do not care that retirements are at risk of being paid, or that the pension fund must take resources from the medical assistance fund to face these payments at the expense of the reduction and suspension of benefits ».
“When the Anticyclical Fund law was discussed, we, from Peronism, warned that the project was not viable in an indebted province. We need to focus on improving the management and administration of resources that belong to all Neuquinos,” Peralta wrote in a press release.
“That is why we proposed that the surplus of the income from royalties be allocated to an investment fund for the development of Neuquén. It didn’t make sense for the government to buy dollars or US Treasury bonds when there are urgent debts to attend to in the province. Today with this initiative, the governor agrees with us, ”he concluded.
ATE regretted that this block, “which has already had expressions against salary increases to state and which claims to be” national and popular “, are those who oppose seeking a solution that ensures the future of our retirees.”
