Within the framework of a new edition of the IDEA Colloquium held in Mar del Plata, Governors took the opportunity to insist on the issue of co-participation.
During the second day of the meeting that brings together business leaders, the leaders of Entre Ríos met, Rogelio Frigerio; from Catamarca, Raul Jalil; from Chubut, Ignacio “Nacho” Torresand from Corrientes, Gustavo Valdes.
In this context, Frigerio maintained that Entre Ríos provides resources to the Nation “through the non-co-participation of the check tax, a part of the VAT, the fuel tax, and various ANSES taxes.”, but “this year he did not receive any of that.”

“Another concrete example is the fuel tax, which has a specific assignment, which is to go (to finance) the subsidy for public passenger transportation. The national government decided that (this benefit for passengers) had to be a responsibility of the provinces, welcome, but don’t keep that tax then,” he said.
In turn, Torres maintained that “in the short term the discussion (on this issue) must be held because there is an unfulfilled constitutional mandate,” but he clarified that it is not necessary that there be a law for that, since “There are many decisions that can be made even by decree”.
“If the role of the State for this Government is purely and exclusively national security, foreign relations and macroeconomics, perfect. Now, let’s not continue charging taxes for things we are not going to do; Either we alleviate at the fiscal level or we decentralize. The discussion is much simpler than what some want to present as a great, much more sophisticated discussion,” he remarked.
“Let’s all work together to progressively improve and not increase those asymmetries that are not fiscal, they are academic, health and social. Today a boy who is born in the north or south of Argentina does not have the same right to tertiary education as someone who is born in the Federal Capital. Today there are two countries and we do not have to be afraid to have that discussion. It is an act of justice to rediscuss co-participation“, hill.
In another order of topics, Jalil referred to the internal Peronist: “When I started in politics, 30% was Peronism, the other 30% was radical and only 20% was from other forces, but that has changed in current situation and we must work within the framework of this new moment. And we have to do it with the private sector.”
