Mogetta and the limit on Uber in Córdoba: 'It goes against what is being done in the world'

The former Secretary of Transportation was critical of the recent ordinance regulating the use of transportation apps in Córdoba

The former National Secretary of Transportation, Franco Mogetta, was critical regarding  the recent ordinance regulating the use of transportation apps in Córdoba.

In recent days, the Public Services Commission of the City Council dispatched the  ordinance project regulating the operation of electronic transportation platforms, such as Uber and DiDi.

This has a series of limitations, since it means there can only be one license for every 375 permanent residents of the city, which amounts to a total of 3,998 authorized vehicles out of the 15,000 currently operating.

"Regarding mobile passenger transportation apps, so many rules and regulations are being imposed that they're practically turning them into taxis, even for those who aren't or don't want to be, contrary to what is done anywhere else in the world," he stated.

"So many freedoms will be infringed upon in that regard that the product will no longer be the product that operates elsewhere and logically it doesn't have the same benefits for people," he added.

Mogetta: Córdoba needs to reduce the size of the State and cut spending to lower taxes

Mogetta also criticized the government of Martín Llaryora, pointing out that it must reduce public spending in order to lower taxes.

"Córdoba needs to reduce the size of the State and cut spending to lower taxes  and have more reasonable rates," he said on Monday.

It is worth noting that today it was announced that Mercado Libre will close its offices in Córdoba  due to high municipal rates.

Mogetta and Milei's administration's achievements

Finally, he highlighted the achievements of President Javier Milei's economic administration.

"There have been many achievements that the country had pending in a very short time, especially in the economic sphere. In a year and a half, what perhaps other governments couldn't achieve in more than 50 years has been accomplished, such as controlling inflation or reducing the deficit. Out of the last 124 years, Argentina had a deficit in 113. In the first month of government, this was corrected in Milei's administration," he explained.
