Gustavo Valdés, on the lack of diesel: “We are with a YPF in reverse”

Given the lack of diesel that Argentina’s northern provinces are suffering, Corrientes Governor Gustavo Valdés complained on Saturday that the 100th anniversary celebration of the state oil company YPF coincides with the “shortage”.

“Unfortunately we are with a YPF back. An Argentina that needs diesel in the North, with shortages. I wish we had reached 100 in another way, “Valdés stressed.

In the statements a AM750described the president of Corrientes: “We met with the Governors of the Norte Grande. I don’t think this problem can be solved in two days. Two months ago they were warned and the response was that there would be no breakdown in the stock and yet it is happening. “

“There is a story that does not correspond to reality. We are talking about a lack of foresight and inconveniences, “said the governor of Corrientes.

Given this situation, the chief of staff, Juan Manzur, said days ago that the national government made the decision to import more fuel, given the shortage in eight provinces that have little or no supply at gas stations.

In this context, Valdés recounted the situation observed in the northern provinces of Argentina: “At the border, our fuel is pouring everywhere. What we are seeing is that we’re running out of fuel because practically we are half price how much it costs abroad. They say it’s 2%, but I think it’s a lot more and that would aggravate the situation. I think there is lack of foresight in the management of a major oil company like YPF “.

“We have to import a lot of the shares and that has to do with the lack of dollars in Argentina. We have to do it. we import diesel at international prices and have to sell it for half the price. It is about importing the least amount possible so that the least amount of dollars goes away, which the Argentine Republic does not have. We are talking about market distortions, attempts to inadequately control prices, the lack of competitiveness… .The disaster we have today in the Argentine economy “, explained the president of Corrientes.

Valdés felt that Argentina should do it “back to dynamism that Vaca Muerta had before this government took office. “

Criticism of the Court’s enlargement project

Amid the tensions that arose after the government first put forward a project to expand the Supreme Court, the governor of Corrientes felt that it was the “most important legal nonsense of the democratic era of the Argentine Republic.

“We can’t because they don’t resolve the causes for us because we want to dissolve one of the powers of the state in this way. It is not consistent with the needs of an Argentina that needs legal certainty, threatens the credibility of a national government that must have credibility due to the struggles between Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner. This fight is leading us to the inflation we have without stopping in Argentina “, underlined.
