Totocaputo wrote that the IDB had approved an investment guarantee of USD 200 million to support the National Electric Transport Expansion Plan promoted by the national government. He indicated that the guarantee would support the AMBA I and Puerto Madryn–Choele Choel / Choele Choel–Bahía Blanca projects, aimed at expanding transmission capacity and strengthening the Argentine Interconnection System. The author noted that the program would directly benefit 16 million users, including households and businesses, by providing a more reliable electricity supply. He also indicated that AMBA I was the first of the 16 strategic initiatives of the plan, which contemplated investments exceeding USD 6.6 billion and the incorporation of 5,610 km of 500 kV lines throughout the country. Totocaputo added that the approval of the guarantee consolidated, in his opinion, the conditions of predictability and clear rules that the national government had been promoting to attract private capital to electrical infrastructure. #TransporteEléctrico #Inversión #EnergíaArgentina (translated)

Maria Clara Posada stated that the JEP would have signed 22 agreements with the PNUD between 2018 and 2026 to outsource contracts worth $201.467 million. She wrote that the agency had diplomatic immunity and was not obliged to reveal who it hired, how much it paid, or what work was done, which she described as a scheme of secrecy. Posada claimed that the case would be more serious than that of the parallel Fund of MinIgualdad. The author pointed out alleged irregularities in the agreements. She said that they were governed by PNUD rules, something that, according to her, could only be done if the agency contributed more than 50% of the value, a condition that would have been met in five of the 22 agreements. She also stated that the PNUD did not provide money but made in-kind contributions, and that the available information in Secop did not allow for a detailed understanding of how the JEP calculated its value. Posada added that the law prohibited the use of international cooperation agreements to execute budget resources, in order to prevent evasion of contracting regulations. In this case, she argued, the PNUD would have managed the JEP's resources for tasks specific to the entity, such as ensuring legal advice to victims and strengthening the capacity of the Investigation Unit. #JEP #PNUD #contratación (translated)

First Vice President and Minister of Economy, Carlos Cuerpo, recalled this week that the first assessment by AIReF has already been approved, along with a subsequent review, although with the objection that part of the system's revenue comes from direct transfers from the State, which will have to continue covering the deficit of Social Security. In this regard, Cuerpo pointed out that there is "a second closure mechanism," which is compliance with the fiscal rules with Europe, ensuring the sustainability of all public administrations. #pensiones #sostenibilidad #reforma (translated)

Rodrigo Lara reported that he had filed a reform against the so-called "mermelada," which he described as the assignment of regional projects without transparency about who requested them, why they were approved, or what was obtained in return. The author argued that congress members should be able to manage investments for their regions, but proposed that each project they presented be recorded in a public registry. He also suggested distinguishing between conflicts of interest: one, he said, would occur when the congress member, their family, or their partners received a particular benefit; another would correspond to the public representation of the legitimate interests of a region or sector. Lara noted that congress members should transparently declare their ties with sectors that financed their campaigns and stated that the reform would allow for the regulation of lobbying in Colombia. He added that, in his view, the lack of a law on the matter was due to congress members' fear of losing their position for listening to and processing sectoral interests. He also maintained that under the current government, everything was done openly and called for all management to be declared and made known. #LeyAntiMermelada #Reforma #Transparencia #Desarrollo (translated)
