Social Development Minister María Eugenia Vidal assured that the subways “main problem” is “a lack of investment” and assured that the PRO party doesn’t want the subway service “to end like Aerolíneas Argentinas.”
While speaking at a press conference, Vidal said that riding the subway is “uncomfortable” and that “there is a need for major investments and improvements,” so she assured that the City Government is “willing to make changes to improve the service in a joint operation with the National Government.”
Earlier, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner demanded that the management of the subway services is transferred to City Government and said that by urging them to comply with that measure “they are just trying to obey the law.”
“If you can’t make it by December 1st, then make it by the 15th or by the end of the month, but not by 2017,” she said while speaking at a UIA conference.
“I ask you all to help me lead Argentina, and I want to convey this message to our nation’s governors, otherwise it becomes extremely difficult for me, especially due to those who criticized our subsidies system and now want to extend them by 2017,” she said.
“We are just trying to obey the law. We’re not asking them to go negotiate with the Paris Club,” she blasted.
