The inauguration of the Néstor Kirchner Gas Pipeline marked the political agenda of the day, mainly due to the presence of Cristina Kirchner. In her words, The vice president did not hesitate to charge against the former president Mauricio Macri, whom he blamed for paralyzing the project.
Macri himself came out this Sunday to respond to the criticism and avoided referring to the work “by its official name.”
Through a thread of messages that he published on his Twitter account, Macri pointed out that “the government announces with great fanfare a gas pipeline that arrives three years late and whose delay cost Argentina more than 5,000 million dollars”.
“In 2019 we left the tender ready and the financing prepared. They just had to move on. Instead, we had bombastic speeches about sovereignty, self-sufficiency and independence,” the former president wrote.

In this sense, he considered that “the reality is that in energy, as in the previous Kirchner governments, they failed again”, since “in 2015 they delivered a brutal energy deficit, which with a lot of effort (of all Argentines)” got reversed, “only to lose it again now.”
In any case, Macri congratulated “the engineers and construction companies for a formidable work, despite the fact that due to the government’s haste and lack of foresight, it cost 800 million dollars more than it would have cost under normal conditions.”
“The history of this gas pipeline (excuse me if I don’t call it by its official name) It is another example of the opportunities, the millions and the time that we Argentines lost due to the obstinacy of Kirchnerism to destroy anything that was made by us.. Now at least we have something concrete. Let’s take advantage of it, ”she closed.
