translated from Spanish: Aranguren: “I do not agree with that energy is a human right”

who was in charge of the Ministry of energy (now demoted to Secretary) between December 2015 until June of last year, Juan José Aranguren, spoke out about the vances of management change in the portfolio which is today led by Juan Lopetegui. “My assessment is that the next President is the political force that wins the election will receive an energy sector in much better condition than that which we receive in 2015”, part by pointing out the outgoing Minister. In keeping with this, Aranguren understands that “from the point of view of investment both from the point of view of the quality of the service, are in a situation that he interrupted a clear path towards the energy disaster that was that continue for much of” the last administration”.

Although not “dismisses” the impact that a power outage may have on the lives of the people, the former official raised that “must-see is the magnitude, the number of people who have a cut in service, how many cuts occur in the year and is the length of each” cut”. In this sense, former Shell President concluded on interruptions in power supply: “One can not claim to what to solve from a summer to another”. 

In dialogue with La Nacion, the former Minister said his opinion on the increase of the rates and the Disproportionality in the provision of the service: “well, it is a question, isn’t it?” It is very easy to damage the quality of the service when one generates conditions outside the regulatory framework”. “Energy is a scarce resource and we need to recognize it. Like all scarce it is expensive”, raises Aranguren. 
“Sometimes the Argentines like that ´mentime that phrase me gusta´.” We have lived with an unreality that electrical service is free”.

Oblivious to the needs of those who have one dependency of energy (adults and electrodependientes, among others), the departing Minister asks: “who is going to invest to meet the alleged human right? States must have income and those revenues are taxes paid by the population. Therefore, I am not agree with which is a human right”.” “In all countries of the world, those who have at least progressed, has been paid to what the energy is worth”, says the former President of the oil company. 

“”Although it is easy to encompass everything in tarifazos”, former official made it clear their disagreement over proposals posed that the rates increase does not make it above the evolution of the salary of the people.” In order to recover the good service there is a period in which the services increases more than increase salaries averages and is what we are trying to. The people will choose if this is what you prefer or prefer that they lied because he likes”, concludes Aranguren. In this note:
