The National Government summoned the City of Buenos Aires to initiate the proposal of negotiation around the transfer of the 32 lines of collectives that have jurisdiction. It is a measure that could generate a reduction of 13,000 million pesos in subsidies and that has generated some repudiation. After what was the dispute over the security forces and the contributions of co-participation to the Federal Capital, a new discourse was unleashed where what was sown from the outset were cross accusations regarding a new tariff, based on the agreement that was reached with the Monterio International Fund.
The National Government made the decision to increase electricity and bus rates in the City, harming thousands of neighbors and those who come every day from the province to work or study. These issues should be worked on together and not by imposition. — Jorge Macri (@jorgemacri)

The first to go out to the crossing was Jorge Macri. The minister of the Buenos Aires government expressed himself in statements to Radio Rivadavia, where he assured that “evidently the national government made a decision that is to increase the rates of the bus ticket in the City” as a measure. Until now, this path has always been traveled together, putting shared efforts. But he changed that tone and decided to increase the rates,” he accused in a criticism that emphasizes that the value of the minimum ticket could go from 18 pesos to 40 pesos and say that it has to do with “discrimination against the Government and the citizens of the City.”
“There is a decision of the government that will have to do with the numbers that do not close it, with the requirements of the IMF perhaps,” he said in his statements, which generated an official response and came through Diego Giuliano, Minister of Transport of the Nation, who expressed himself in Infobae. ” Macri is mixing things up. We want the City to assume its competence in the matter. There is no need for a ticket increase. We must have a comprehensive vision of the country, a federal vision,” said the national official, minimizing the conflict. It seems that they are already anticipating their position. They reverse the terms of the discussion. Macri was overlooked reading Article 2 of Law 26,740 which is a national law of 2012 where this transfer is established, “he said supporting the constitutional endorsement of the regulations.
