Calvo demands funds from the Nation, while Córdoba squanders on superstructures and positions.

Minister Manuel Calvo demanded in the Senate that the Nation transfer resources to the provinces. However, he omits that Córdoba's government hasn't cut a single cent from the political apparatus. Meanwhile, while they request ATN and fuel tax funds, they maintain a giant and wasteful state structure.

The provincial administration of Córdoba currently keeps 18 ministries and 15 agencies (with ministerial rank and budget) in operation. Not a single state office has been closed since they took office. On the contrary, they multiplied departments and agencies that only serve to justify paid activism and ideological indoctrination.

While residents tighten their belts, Córdoba's state squanders millions on overpriced festivals, gender agenda shows, and globalist green circuses with no real impact. Instead of cutting privileges, they demand that the Nation make the adjustment. The hypocrisy of Córdoba's progressivism is already obscene.

Genuine federalism or disguised clientelism?

Filokirchnerista Minister Calvo speaks of federalism, but behind his speech there is a demand to maintain privileges.He requests resources that, for years, were used at discretion to sustain clientelist structures. Now, they disguise fiscal pressure as a defense of the interior.

Meanwhile, while he demands that the Nation repair roads, Calvo hides that many provincial projects are paralyzed or made up for the photo. Several of those used as management banners have never presented a serious accountability report. No one explains how the money is spent, much less who oversees it.

He also can't speak of provincial roads as an example. One only needs to drive a few kilometers from Greater Córdoba to see destroyed shoulders, potholes, and neglect. The management's marketing clashes with a reality that hits forgotten residents daily for not being "allied territory."

Córdoba doesn't adjust: it demands that the Nation pay for its excesses

Calvo's speech about justice and legality is an insult to Córdoba's taxpayers. They pay high gross income taxes, inflated license fees, and public services with unaffordable rates. In exchange for what? For maintaining a slow, expensive, and oversized state.

Meanwhile, while the Nation cuts ministries, reduces positions, and ends militant advertising, Córdoba continues to finance public radio stations, pro-government media, and useless "cultural embassies." Friendly consulting firms, ideological observatories, and campaigns are maintained without any kind of control or audit.

Calvo asks to "rise to the occasion," but his government lives beyond its means. Fiscal pressure is suffocating and services don't improve. Before pointing fingers at Congress,  the wasteful minister should look inward.
