Today will be the fourth Sunday of elections in Neuquén and will once again find the Blue sector of the Neuquén Popular Movement, which until yesterday was comfortable typing the political life of the province, with a very blurred role. Surely it will celebrate as a party in Rincón de los Sauces although, if the victory belongs to the mayor Norma Sepúlveda, it will be the merit of the Blue and White sector of the oil tankers and their alliance with Rolando Figueroa, who gave them free rein by not presenting their own candidate .
Rincón de los Sauces 2023 elections: the candidates for mayor, one by one
The governor-elect has, instead, his chips placed in Plottier, where he trusts in a victory for the ruling party Luis Bertolini by between ten and 15 points. It is what the surveys that their teams had this week indicated, which can always fail, of course.
There is another issue that occupies Figueroa, and also Governor Omar Gutiérrez, which will give them both a victory this week and which does not require a poll or search. Members of the Budget Committee They will give dispatch this Tuesday to the debt of 100 million dollars that they agreed as part of the transition and, that same day, they intend to deal with it on tables in session.
“Today the blues blame each other for who was the one who indebted the most. We do not care about the culprit, we have to solve it ”, they told this week from the Figueroa team.
Strictly speaking, it will not be a solution or a flattening of the maturity curve, as the governor-elect had proposed. It will be one more debt that he will have to cancel in his government. The Ministry of Economy The interest that would be paid for the financing to obtain a rate of 9% was calculated at 28 million dollars. That is to say, it will be a momentary help, but it will end up further enlarging the list of expirations that Figueroa will face during his term.
From their environment they assure that it is not a problem. “By ordering the State, things can be done well. But just as it is, next year we will not arrive ”, they justified.
The issue came to shake the nap of the Chamber, which continues to accumulate pending such as the sanction of the law of prior, free and informed consultation. The issue returned to the public scene this week with the conflict raised by the Fvta Xayen community against the Vaca Sur oil pipeline that YPF plans to build and whose route they claim passes through land they occupy.
The government had promised to create a registry of communities to deliver the missing legal status, for example, that of the Fvta Xayen, but it never moved forward. The deputies did not do their thing either in the venue, despite the fact that the lieutenant governor Marcos Koopmann had assured that he wanted the debate for August.
“It is not on the agenda,” they say. The threads move today depending on the emergencies Gutiérrez-Figueroa and, it would seem, this issue has not yet entered the list of priorities of those managing the transition.
In parallel, in the Legislature, a rather anecdotal situation that happens these days ended up giving a clue about, at least, one of the names that would go from the list of deputies to the future cabinet.
The question is like this: The house staff was notified that, in December, a person with reduced mobility, who uses a wheelchair, would occupy one of the benches of the new ruling party. And the venue is not prepared for that.
The elected deputy in question would be Mónica Guanque, who accompanied Rolando Figueroa first on his list for Congress, in 2021, and then on this year’s provincial list. She is the accessibility benchmark for the governor-elect, a judicial worker, but she was not elected on April 16 by the Community bloc.
In other words, if it is confirmed that she will enter in December, it is because another female legislator will resign from her bench to occupy a place in the Executive Power. All eyes are on the doctor Luciana Ortiz Luna.
