Ridiculous: everything is collapsing in Córdoba, but Passerini prefers to blame Javier Milei

The mayor once again portrayed himself as a victim due to the lack of funds, although he squanders resources on summits, political positions, and shows

In an interview with "La Voz en Vivo," the improvised mayor Daniel Passerini defended the project that seeks to limit transportation apps like Uber. The ordinance includes caps, controls, and sanctions. For the mayor, the freedom to choose how to travel is a problem that must be "regulated."

The municipal chief denied that there are 15,000 active drivers. He proposed limiting the number of vehicles in the entire city to 4,000 and implementing the "digital license." Meanwhile, residents are choosing more affordable and modern services, the municipality is seeking to put a stop to them.

Attacks Milei and plays the victim

During the interview, the Kirchnerist Passerini lashed out against the national government. He accused Javier Milei of "tripling poverty," ignoring the fact that under the current government it dropped from 54.8% to 31.7% in just one year. Meanwhile, his own city is collapsing in services, infrastructure, and security.

He criticized the supposed "fiscal unitarianism" without mentioning that Córdoba is one of the provinces with the highest tax pressure. He used unverified figures to justify the municipal suffocation and blamed the Nation for all his failures.

He even tried to demonize the adjustment and the reduction of privileges. With that discourse, he once again showed that his administration prioritizes the narrative over the results.

Regulation, privileges, and contradictions

The project regulates private apps as if they were public services. It creates an artificial market where the municipality decides who can work. The freedom to undertake is subject to licenses, inspections, and bureaucratic approvals.

In the name of "road safety," the mayor intends for every driver to be in a state registry. The same State that can't fill potholes or collect garbage on time.

At the same time, he defended the Municipal Control Entity, pointed out by the Suoem as a den of new political positions. The mayor denied everything, but didn't provide clear figures.

Neither freedom nor management

Passerini concluded with a defense of the Córdoba model and a nod to Juan Schiaretti as a "national reference." He spoke of leadership and consensus, but avoided answering about sewers, destroyed streets, and deficient services.

Residents don't want speeches. They want solutions. But the Kirchnerist mayor insists on regulating Uber while Córdoba remains adrift.
