The head of Government of the City of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri, in recent months has tried to portray his administration as "liberal," especially now that elections are approaching and he needs to appeal to an electorate disenchanted with excessive public spending.
However, behind this opportunistic discourse lies a reality that exposes his lie. His administration not only maintains the habit of squandering but takes it to absurd levels.
A flagrant example, denounced on social media, is the rental of movie theaters for the exorbitant sum of $83,000,000 to project getting votes by any means possible.
El alquiler.
While Macri talks about fiscal order and efficiency, his administration spends millions of taxpayers' pesos on initiatives that have no practical use for the people of Buenos Aires.
This is not an isolated incident, as similar events have been reported since the beginning of his administration. Another recent case was the decision of the Buenos Aires government under Jorge Macri to spend millions of dollars on a fleet of electric buses, whose absurd and questionable details reveal the lack of common sense and the deepening of an ideological agenda that raises more questions than solutions.
El monto.
According to information provided by the Minister of Infrastructure, Pablo Bereciartua, these buses, which are already on their way to Argentina directly from China, have a range of 170 km and a maximum speed of 12 km/h.
Additionally, in a clear attempt to meet ideological demands, the Government of Jorge Macri determined that these buses be driven exclusively by women.
With the elections drawing closer, Macri adopted a liberal discourse, timidly aligning with ideas of reducing the State to try to gain votes among the followers of President Javier Milei, although with actions like these, nobody believes him anymore.
The $83,000,000 in cinemas is just another example of an administration that prioritizes politics over the real needs of the people. While the City is dirty, abandoned, and left to criminals, Macri spends taxpayers' money on ideological whims.
