The governor of La Rioja , Ricardo Quintela , established by decree that the increases in the electricity rate , promoted by the national government for this month, will be frozen for the consumption of the February bill and the previous rate table will be taken into account. to the rise .


“I have asked Edelar (Electricity Distribution Company of La Rioja) to implement a mechanism to be able to recalculate the issue of energy and to charge not with the new rate, at least for this month,” stated the re-elected president of Unión for the Homeland during a meeting with business chambers and provincial unions in which he highlighted “ avoid aggravating the situation of the population and economic sectors .”


For those who have already paid the bill, the provincial company reported on its website the step by step to access the credit note on the electricity consumption of the aforementioned period that will be reflected in the next billing with the refund of the amount. Meanwhile, those who have not yet paid for the service will be able to visit the Edelar offices to access the corresponding benefit.

Quintela also pointed out against the administration of Javier Milei, stating that "sometimes you can generate well-being, sometimes you can't, but what you cannot do is deliberately, intentionally, generate harm to the Argentine people ," stressing that The benefits that a people enjoy are “ the constitutional obligation that a government has .”


It is worth remembering that Quintela is one of the governors most critical of the management of the national government. Even before the elections, the Rioja president had threatened to resign from office if the libertarian won the presidential runoff, a threat that he ultimately did not carry out .


The governor also confirmed that he will not sign the May Pact that will be held in Córdoba next month. “It is a call to sign an imposition from the president. We disagre. It would be humiliating for me to go there . He has a provocative, haughty attitude, he insults you, he publicly insults you, he disqualifies you, your family, your people. One represents the citizens. It would be very bad for our governor to surround himself with this man,” he said in an interview with El Destape Radio.

And he pronounced a challenging phrase for the president: “The investiture deserves the greatest respect from me, but he does not deserve any kind of respect from me at all , especially when he acts out and insults. I would like him to sometimes insult each other hand in hand . He cannot insult because he knows that there may be reactions that he knows will not be able to maintain that impunity that gives you the power and the means to say any barbarity about anyone.

Furthermore, in the midst of the complicated financial situation that his province is going through, he was forced to issue a quasi-currency that caused the default of a district dollar bond . “In 40 days we will have our internal circulation currency,” said the governor at the beginning of March. And he also detailed about this “financial instrument”, the Bocade (Debt Cancellation Bonds) that will be for “internal circulation” and will not “have any surprises in the immediate future.”

The governor also recently spoke out about the war conflicts that occurred on the other side of the Atlantic. He shared his “deepest desire for peace regarding the conflicts and wars that are being experienced between Israel and Iran and between Russia and Ukraine .” And he declared: “For us they are distant lands but there are human lives that are lost due to these clashes and the wounds that remain are very deep,” he reflected.
