The mayor of Tres de Febrero, Diego Valenzuela, from the party La Libertad Avanza, announced that his municipality has become the district with the largest fleet of authorized cars in the country, thanks to the low rates and the authorization without economic cost.
According to a video posted on his X account, more than 5,000 vehicles were authorized in that western district of Greater Buenos Aires, although only 4% of the drivers actually reside in the municipality.

Valenzuela attributed this phenomenon to an active policy of debureaucratization, tax reduction, and cost reduction to encourage independent work. “More than 5,000 Cabify drivers authorized their cars in Tres de Febrero. Only 4% of the drivers live in the municipality, 96% come from other parts of the province of Buenos Aires and the Capital. They come from other places because we have easy authorizations without economic cost. Additionally, we focus on making the process simple and fast,” he explained.
The strategy aligns with the philosophy of the national government led by Javier Milei, who promotes the deregulation of the economy and the reduction of tax pressure as a way to promote economic growth. In that line, Valenzuela stated: “It's easy, the concept of ‘voting with your feet’ works. Companies and entrepreneurs decide to work and invest in the municipalities where they are charged the least taxes. Less taxes mean more work.”

The policy of free authorization had an immediate effect, attracting thousands of drivers who, although they do not live in the district, choose to carry out the procedures in Tres de Febrero due to its agility and accessibility. For the mayor, this demonstrates that competition between municipalities to attract economic activity through better tax conditions is possible and beneficial for the community.
The measure was celebrated by numerous digital platform workers, who benefited from Valenzuela's measures, a mayor who seeks to follow in the footsteps of President Javier Milei in terms of deregulation and tax reduction.
