Government confirms 40% increase in transport since December

The rise “is not going to be exactly the same for all railway lines or for all modalities,” added the minister upon entering the Kirchner Cultural Center to witness the start of the Yolanda Law training, an act headed by President Alberto Fernández .

“We are analyzing what that percentage of increase is going to be, but approximately we can make an approximate average of 40%”, Warrior completed.

On the other hand, the official clarified that the measure “has nothing to do with the negotiation of the UTA (Unión Tranviarios Automotor) in the Ministry of Labor because internal transport, which is the discussion at the moment, is not the jurisdiction of the national government. , beyond the fact that the provinces always put pressure on national subsidies”.

“It is the jurisdiction of the provincial and municipal governments to establish the rates, the routes, the stops, and what the national government does is a subsidy mechanism“, he stressed.

Meanwhile, he recalled that “in the 2018 fiscal pact there was a commitment by the jurisdictions to abandon the compensation mechanism by the national government, but this has not been fulfilled as a result of the Covid.”

“This compensation fund for the interior was strengthened and today we continue with the discussion about what level of participation the federal government must have in automotive transport under provincial or municipal jurisdiction,” he concluded.
