The representation of the Municipal Council on the board of the Mixed Tourism Promotion Entity will be exercised by the official councilor (JSRN) Carlos Sánchez and by the Peronist councilor also related to the ruling party Roxana Ferreyraas resulted from the vote carried out in the last Legislative commission.
These places remained vacant for four months, after Natalia Almonacid (JSRN) and Ariel Cárdenas (Bariloche por el Cambio) resigned when the municipal Executive and the representatives of the business chambers refused to displace the president of the Entity and secretary of Tourism, Gastón Burlón, when he was denounced for spending public funds for personal benefit.
Ferreyra assured that the proposal that at that time precipitated the resignation of his peers and that has to do with the “transparency” deficit in the management of the entity continues. Although his and Sánchez’s management will last only until December, he anticipated that he hopes to promote changes in relation to that issue.
“We have not yet been to any Emprotur meeting but I have already expressed it in dialogues with the private sector,” he assured. They don’t like the word ‘transparency’ a lot, but it is something that affects all public management. There are ordinances that regulate access to information and active transparency in the government and in all entities, which are not always complied with.”
According to Ferreyra, the coverage of the positions reserved for councilors was delayed due to disagreements and because the debate on the reform of the Emprotur rate was pending, which finally did not obtain the votes and was rejected. She said that About ten days ago, Peronist councilor Julieta Wallace had applied to take over one of those spaces, but she did not get support.
Ferreyra and Wallace were elected in 2019 by the Frente de Todos, but this year Ferreyra (who comes from La Cámpora) put together the Unidad Ciudadana bloc and showed a greater approach to the ruling party.
Finally, his candidacy for Emprotur ended up approved with the votes of JSRN, UC, the PUL party and Bariloche por el Cambio. Sánchez accessed the same right with the support of JSRN and BxC.
Ferreyra assured that the Emprotur “is a very important instrument”, which is valued at the national level and stressed that it cannot be dissolved or weakened because “the city needs to multiply tourism and give it added value.”
He implied that the minister of the area at the national level Matías Lammens and senator Martín Doñate -referent of his political sector- They became interested in the topic and promoted his appointment.
“No one is against Emprotur, but it has to be more transparent. They called me (by the businessmen) to find out my position and I told them that it is transparency in the management of funds. public. “I think they have understood it,” Ferreyra assured. There is simply an ordinance and it must be followed. “Society wants to know.”
This medium pointed out that the anger of the councilors last May was not only because of the management of funds but because they closed the doors and did not let them participate in a board meeting in which Burlón’s fate would be defined. Ferreyra said that that was a specific situation and he does not believe it will happen again. She pointed out that the case would have to be studied well and see what corresponds according to the entity’s regulations, which she said she was unaware of.
