Buenos Aires, February 27 (RHC)-- The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, eliminated this Monday the fiscal fund that helped the province of Buenos Aires and the administration of Governor Axel Kicillof, which had been created during the administration of Alberto Fernández and allocated to the district a percentage of additional co-participable resources that the city received for the transfer of the Federal Police.

"It was defined to eliminate the Fund for the Strengthening of the Province of Buenos Aires that the previous Administration had arbitrarily granted. A fund that all Argentines were paying to the Government of Axel Kicillof for 231,000 million pesos (about 275,000 dollars)", referred the presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni.

According to the official statements, the measure was justified by arguing that the decision adopted during the pandemic "affected the general interests of the Nation as a whole, depriving the National State of resources necessary for the orderly management of the public accounts".

Another of the arguments of the Executive points out that "no National Government has ever received such a critical institutional, economic and social inheritance as the one received by the current administration, so it is essential to adopt measures to overcome the emergency situation created by the exceptional economic and social conditions that the Nation is suffering, especially as a consequence of a set of interventionist decisions".

For his part, Governor Axel Kicillof referred, after the Government's decision, that he will appeal to the Supreme Court of Justice.  "We exhausted the administrative and claims instances.  You know that our link with the issue of judicialization recognizes all the limitations and reservations, but I want to make it clear that today we instructed the State Attorney of the Province of Buenos Aires to initiate legal actions before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation and to restore the funds that were taken from us", he referred.
 
Likewise, Kicillof specified that other actions are planned in view of the removal of that budget (more than 30 billion pesos), among them, a summit of all the governors to stop Javier Milei's decrees.

"The resources taken from us by Milei are not in question today. They have to return them. We will take all the measures and we will carry out all the necessary actions so that the province of Buenos Aires does not suffer another aggression from this Government," he added.
