“They have to correct”. The warning has been being prepared since yesterday among the governor’s teams Rolando Figueroa and it would have arrived today directly on the phone of President Javier Milei. The omnibus law that the president sent to the National Congress did not go down well in the province of Neuquén, in particular, due to the package that modifies key aspects of the Hydrocarbons law. The governor assured today that there are articles “unconstitutional from every point of view” and he announced that he will make “all the necessary proposals” to stop them.
The concern activated rapid contact with the rest of the Patagonian governors, including Alberto Weretilneck from Rio Negro. It is possible that they prepare a joint action to complain if the reversals are not achieved by good means.
“We are going to do everything necessary to defend the resources of Neuquén. First let’s do it in political terms and, later, through judicial means”said Figueroa in dialogue with RÍO NEGRO Diary.
He stated that the law “It has serious contradictions throughout the wording” of the hydrocarbon section. «It shows that several people wrote it. At times they make references to the Short Law and then forget it,” he warned.
The article that the Neuquén government analyzes most closely is the 298° of the omnibus law. It is within Chapter IX linked to Energy and, specifically, to modifications to Law 17,319 on Hydrocarbons.
«It is unconstitutional from every point of view. “We are not going to allow article 124 of the National Constitution to be subjugated,” Figueroa warned.
The article in question replaces 98 of Hydrocarbons Law 17,319 and establishes the National Executive Branch as enforcement authority To grant permits, concessions and authorizations; and authorize their transfers”, “establish the compensation recognized for surface owners” and “declare the expiration or nullity of permits, concessions and authorizations”, among other powers.
«That already had been repealed with the constitutional reform of 1994“, with the Short Law and with Law 27,007,” the governor clarified. “We never imagined this level of subjugation of the National Constitution,” he said.
The meeting with Marin and the privatization of YPF
The governor was meeting yesterday at Government House with the new president of YPF, Horacio Marinwhen the text of the omnibus law presented by President Javier Milei was known.
The head of the majority state oil company had made an internal visit during the morning in Añelo and Around 4 p.m. he was received by Figueroa in his office. Little was known about the meeting and the government decided to save the official photo after learning that Milei’s proposal included the company in the package of companies subject to privatization.
Figueroa is a “supporter of the state YPF”so he does not agree with the presidential proposal and assures that neither does the current head of the oil company. «I believe in public companies and I know that YPF is going to do very well if it is well managed,” he stated.
As far as he could know RÍO NEGRO Diary, in the meeting with Marin they did not talk about the issue because the governor found out about the law when he left. Yes, he took advantage of the meeting to commit him to contributing funds to the scholarship program that will begin this year.
