“Institutional quality, transparency, and collective objectives that prioritize the common good are part of the hallmark of this administration,” highlighted María de los Ángeles Petit, coordinator of Strategic Affairs of the Municipal Executive. “In this framework, the transition ordinance that will be submitted to the Deliberative Council responds to the political decision to make the highest level of information possible available to the new administration to accompany and facilitate planning and decision-making in the new government,” she argued.
“The ordinance that we will finish drafting together with Azcue's team will propose the formation of a Transition Commission with 10 members (five from the current administration and five from the new government). It will be coordinated by the Government Secretariat and will include career technical officials and members of the new mayor's technical political team,” anticipated Petit.
“In any case, it is a draft ordinance that is being prepared in conjunction with the new administration and will be sent when it is agreed upon in all its points, so that it is an optimal and efficient piece of work; because it is also an ordinance that will be established as a very useful tool for the administrations that will govern the municipality in the coming decades", she also said.
INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
For his part, the Secretary of Government and Treasury, Aldo Álvarez, highlighted that the mayor-elect and Cresto “immediately agreed on the main axes of this transition, in a clear sign of political maturity and institutional responsibility”.
For the official, “it is important that the new authorities know the public policies that were implemented, the operation of the programs, the parameters of fiscal balance, and the strategic orientation of spending that govern the actions of our economic team,” he highlighted.
“Fiscal balance; the proportionality in the staff, which remains almost the same as what Cresto found when he took office; income through public competitions; the accessibility of information; the countercyclical fund, and the budgetary provisions for the coming months are some of the topics that we will develop together with the team that Azcue defines”, he concluded.
