“The Minister lies blatantly. On December 15, 2023, the Government of Chubut requested to refinance the December and January/24 installments of the FFDP, to improve the maturity curve,” replied the vice-governor of Chubut, Gustavo Mennareplying to Luis Caputo in X-
“Subsequently, and after a meeting held with the Secretary of the Treasury of the Nation, another note was presented to the Minister of the Interior on February 16 (3 days before the withholding of the co-participation begins) reiterating the need to refinance the debt with the Trust Fund, since the update by CER that it foresees in moments of very high inflation made it impossible to cancel it without affecting the essential services of the Provincial State,” Menna continued in defiance of the Minister of Economy.
“Finally, on February 22, formal authorization was requested to cancel the debt with the FFDP with resources obtained from the issuance of debt securities guaranteed with royalties, without any response, since the intention is drown financially to the Province”, concluded the vice-governor, who asked for “respect for federalism”:
“Chubut has a debt problem due to the irresponsibility of the government that continued until December 10. It is a complex financial situation and in this sense, what has been done is a cut that is due to the repayment of financial instruments of the loans of the Trust Fund. a debt that was refinanced to all provinces and it is also clear that no moderately intelligent person is aware that retaining more than a third of the share condemns the province to not fulfill the services under its responsibility; to not pay salaries,” Menna said.
