The Municipality of Córdoba made a new contribution to the traffic chaos in the city center.

This Tuesday, it announced a closure for at least one week, which will cause detours, delays and traffic collapse.

"The vehicle restriction is the result of a series of works and requires detours," stated the Municipality of Córdoba.

This closure adds to dozens of detours for different reasons that have made traveling through downtown Córdoba an odyssey.

Every day, residents are surprised by a different closure.

Specifically, these works are at the corner of Deán Funes and Justo José de Urquiza streets.

"In case of rain, it will be rescheduled," they stated about the work that has not yet been postponed.

Initially, the work will last approximately seven days, ending on Tuesday, August 26.

Municipality of Córdoba: a colossal megastructure under Passerini's administration

In times of fiscal austerity, greater control of public spending, and adjustments to the administrations' accounts, some officials still do not seem to understand these new guidelines.

This is the case of Córdoba's mayor, the pro-Kirchnerist Daniel Passerini, former deputy mayor of the country's largest city during the Llaryora administration.

His worrying addiction to excessive public spending is evident in the promotion (and subsequent approval) of a municipal megastructure.

The City Council approved a new scheme for the municipality, which has an unnecessarily excessive size: it will have 10 secretariats; 1 Legal Advisory Office with the rank of secretariat.

1 General Administration of Administrative Justice with the same rank; 43 subsecretariats; 247 directorates; 92 subdirectorates; 2 major offices and 1 institute.

"Do we really normalize that Córdoba needs 388 political officials to function? One official for every 25 employees?" asked the radical councilor Elisa Caffaratti. In this regard, Caffaratti was clearly against this new scheme.
