“The Government left us businessmen cornered. We are workers, a year has passed and now we need solutions,” said Jorge Gómez, missionary leader.
Businessmen from the Northeast demanded that the Government urgently repair national routes 14 and 12, as they are “important for connectivity with the rest of the country for trade and logistics in the region.” The requests were formulated by the Economic Federation of Corrientes (FEC), the Economic Confederation of Misiones (CEM) and were supported by the Argentine Confederation of Medium Enterprises (CAME).
Jorge Gomezpresident of the FEC, pointed out that it is urgent that the Nation takes charge of the renewal, whether through the public or the private. “The Government left us businessmen cornered. We are workers and we live off what we work. In the meantime, we have to produce concrete facts. A year has passed and now we need solutions,” said the businessman in an interview with a media outlet. your province.
When 2024 closed, the entity issued a statement in which it stated: “The deterioration of the routes puts the lives of those who travel on them at risk, affects the competitiveness of our companies and harms the experience of thousands of tourists who visit us every year.“We ask the national government to take urgent and definitive measures to solve this situation, guaranteeing the safety of citizens and the adequate productive development of our province. The repair and maintenance of these routes is an unavoidable responsibility that directly impacts the quality of life and the future of Corrientes,” the order made public closed.

For these reasons, in the last hours the CAME, the entity that presides, echoed Alfredo Gonzalez and brings together part of the Argentine business community. “The current state of constant deterioration generates not only a significant increase in transportation and logistics costs, but also an alarming increase in road accidents with fatal consequences. It is essential that routes 12 and 14 are passable and safe, which will entail a positive impact on the productive, tourist and social development of the provinces included,” he noted in a statement.
CAME highlighted the importance of public-private collaboration to achieve the route arrangements it demands. “National authorities are asked to prioritize the repair and maintenance of these strategic routes for trade throughout Argentina,” he said.
Before the end of last year, Ámbito reported that the provincial governments of Santa Fe, Entre Ríos and Río Negro made claims in the same sense. Abandonment, lack of maintenance and apathy on the part of the State are some of the terms that the districts used to account for a situation that, as they define, shows the worst part of the chainsaw plan. Such is the complexity that some provincial heads asked that the Government hand over the administration of national arteries to them.
