The Milei government celebrated the significant progress of private work on national roads

The Government of Javier Milei celebrated the progress of the private investment scheme aimed at renewing the country's road infrastructure, reversing decades of neglect and looting by the Kirchnerist governments.

The Minister of Economy, Luis “Toto” Caputo, highlighted the completion of works on more than 300 kilometers of national roads, within the 9,000 kilometers initially tendered through the Federal Concessions Network.

The system promoted by the libertarian administration proposes the operation, maintenance, and renewal of road infrastructure through 100% private investment. While announcing the progress, Caputo linked the process to the model of works that Javier Milei had promised during the 2023 electoral campaign.

Through his X account, the minister published a video that combines statements from Milei during the campaign, comments from Caputo about the bidding process, and an intervention from the current President once he took office.

Along with the images, Caputo wrote: “More private infrastructure, less corruption, more productivity”.

In the published video, Milei appears as a presidential candidate, explaining his proposal to modify the state infrastructure construction system.

“We could completely eliminate public works by moving to a private initiative system like the Chilean one. The problem is that politicians don’t like that very much...,” the current president had stated.

Next, the president questions the functioning of public works and asserts: “Public works is a major source of corruption, of theft, which I imagine all good people should oppose”.
