“We are at a time where the population, as a matter of inflation, requires relief, and that is why the Government took steps to return to the private sector some 50 billion pesos, and the plan includes the provinces returning some 30 billion pesos to individuals Lacunza calculated.
But Peronist and provincial party governors agreed yesterday on a document calling on President Mauricio Macri to roll back measures linked to fuel freezes, VAT and earnings “in keeping with finances provincial syllade.” Two representatives, the Neuquino Omar Gutiérrez and the rionegrino Alberto Weretilneck, have already filed in the Justice amparos in pursuit of caution against official measures.
