Comodoro Rivadavia

Comodoro Rivadavia is a city in the Patagonian province of Chubut in southern Argentina, located on the San Jorge Gulf, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean, at the foot of the Chenque Hill. Comodoro Rivadavia is the most important city of the San Jorge Basin.

The city is often referred simply as Comodoro. It was at one time the capital of Comodoro Rivadavia Territory, which existed from 1943 to 1955. The territory was a part of Chubut before and after its creation, and the city became the capital of Escalante Department. It had a population of 137,061 as of the 2001 census INDEC, and grew to 182,631 by the 2010 census.

Comodoro Rivadavia is a commercial and transportation center for the surrounding region, the largest city of Chubut, and an important export point for a leading Argentine petroleum district. A 1,770 km pipeline conveys natural gas from Comodoro Rivadavia to Buenos Aires. The city is modern with the air of an oil-country boomtown.

Founded by decree on February 23, 1901, as a port for the inland settlement of Sarmiento, the first settler was Francisco Pietrobelli. Early settlers included Boers escaping British rule in South Africa, as well as Welsh settlers.

The town was named in honour of shipping minister Martín Rivadavia, a proponent of the development of southern Argentina. It has been prosperous since 1907, when a drilling crew searching for water struck oil at a depth of 539 m.

Oil production has begun to reduce in quantity but the area has been turning its attention to wind power. Windmills on Cerro Chenque and surrounding hills comprise South America's largest wind farm and provide 20% of Comodoro's energy needs.

The city is the home of the main faculty of the National University of Patagonia at San Juan Bosco. The Cathedral is the seat of the Diocese of Comodoro Rivadavia, of which the Bishop is, since 2005, Virginio Domingo Bressanelli. The Cathedral is dedicated to San Juan Bosco, the only cathedral in the world dedicated to the founder of the Salesian Order. It was inaugurated in 1979 although the crypt had been dedicated in 1949.

Rada Tilly is a beach resort and now suburb 12 km south of Comodoro. The National Museum of Petroleum is located in the General Mosconi neighbourhood 3 km north of central Comodoro Rivadavia. It was opened in 1987 by the state-owned oil company YPF, which was later privatized (see Repsol YPF).

Comodoro Rivadavia is served by General Enrique Mosconi International Airport (Airport Code CRD/SAVC) with daily flights to Buenos Aires and many other Patagonian cities, as it is the main hub of LADE.

22 dead in plane crash in Argentine Patagonia

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina -- A commercial airplane crashed Wednesday in Argentina's southern Patagonia region and all 22 people on board are dead, said a local hospital director.

Sol Airlines said its Flight 5248 carrying three crew members and 19 passengers, including a baby, communicated an emergency while flying from Neuquen near the Andes to Comodoro Rivadavia along the coast of Patagonia.

"Unfortunately there are no survivors. We see burnt remains, everything burned," Ismael Ali, who directs the hospital in the nearest town of Los Menucos, told the Todo Noticias channel.

Todo Noticias and C5N Television reported that the propellor-driven Saab 345 iced up in the frigid air over Patagonia, but there was no official confirmation of this possible cause.

Sol said in a statement that it received an emergency communication from the plane at 8:50 p.m. local time, 42 minutes into the flight.

Los Menucos Mayor Mabel Yahuar said they sent firefighters and ambulances to the relatively flat and remote area of Rio Negro province.

Sol Líneas Aéreas

Sol Líneas Aéreas is an Argentine airline founded in 2005 and operating since August 2006 following an agreement between Transatlántica Group and the government of Santa Fe Province who sought to improve air connections to the cities of Cordoba and Santa Fe. It has its headquarters in Rosario.

The original plan was to link the Santa Fe Province with the rest of the country by air, since few airlines fly to Santa Fe province, given its location close to the cities Buenos Aires and Córdoba. Since most Argentine airlines fly larger aircraft such as the Boeing 737, McDonnell Douglas MD-80/MD-90 or Airbus A320, the plan was to fly small aircraft, with regular daily connections between the Santa Fe region and other Argentinian cities.

With headquarters in Rosario and Santa Fe, Sol Líneas Aéreas has a fleet of five Saab 340A airplanes, each with 34 leather seats. Registrations are LV-BEW, LV-BEX, LV-BMD, LV-BTP, LV-CEI and LV-CEJ.

On 18 May 2011 Sol Líneas Aéreas Flight 5428 on route from Neuquén to Comodoro Rivadavia, a Saab 340A (LV-CEJ), crashed in Prahuaniyeu, Rio Negro Province, Argentina, causing 22 fatalities.

(Argentina Twitter)-The project, approved by 190 votes, was supported on the floor of the Front for Victory, Fresh Encounter, the Radical Civic Union, the Socialist Party, GEN, Federal Peronism and Project South, while the PRO and Civic Coalition abstained.


The session led by the ruling party began at 14.30 with the presence of 129 deputies in the room, then that failed for lack of quorum on the whole previously called by the opposition.

Meanwhile, the president of the bloc of members of the Frente para la Victoria, Agustín Rossi, said that the draft law against money laundering "is a tool to be more efficient in fighting crime recognized as a complex, transnational" .
He added: We are not because we like the FATF, because we must, because it requires coordination.


Nor, with the enactment of this rule, be unreasonable lack extensive time, unlike what is currently happening in terms that require a certain amount of prepaid payments for the affiliate to make effective use of the service.


In this way, and after several years of parliamentary debate, the House accepted the changes made last year by the Senate voted on the original penalty in 2008 by the House, based on a project initiated by former ruling party lawmaker Patricia Vaca Narvaja.


Deputy of the Civic Coalition (CC), Alfonso Prat-Gay, said the reform of legislation seeks to "improve the offense and improve legal tools to combat money laundering", but added that "the acceleration in recent times had more to do with possible FATF sanctions.


Moreover, both members of the Civic Coalition, which highlighted some progress made by the rule-like PRO anticipated its position in the room and asked to refrain, even though both had supported the text when it passed the House in 2008 .


Last week, before the Justice Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, the justice minister, Julio Alak, drew a disturbing diagnosis on the subject. "We are in a delicate and serious situation. The President instructed me to make the alert about the seriousness of the situation," he said.
Cristina Kirchner had called for the enactment of the law during his speech at the opening of the regular session of Congress on March 1 last.

With the goal of honor

Second half, Barcelona tied 1 to 1 with Real Madrid in a rematch of the European Championship semifinals. Peter put the Catalans ahead, and Marcelo, after a move to Di Maria, tied the game. Although the Catalan team plays with the convenience of having overcome a 2-0 to arch-rivals in the first leg, Casillas, goalkeeper of the "Merengue", is the figure of the party. Real clearly failed, except in the play of the discount. Messi and Mascherano are entitled in the premises, while Higuain and Di Maria is starting in capital equipment.


Lionel Messi, author of two goals at the Bernabeu, will again be the focus of attention of world football, pending for 18 days than it was a historic series of four derbies. First, by the League (which is headed Barca in comfort to a new title), was 1-1 at the Bernabeu, Real took the second 1-0 with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo at the Mestalla (stage Valencia), to win the Copa del Rey, and the third, the visitors 2-0 at Barcelona in the Champions League.


Everything going for to advance to the final of the Champions League to be played at Wembley. Not only for the last 2-0, but because their training will another player basic structure, Andrés Iniesta, absent at the Bernabeu, and because in real lack vital suspension two defenders: Pepe, good work on Messi contention until he was expelled in the first leg, and Sergio Ramos.

Cristiano Ronaldo

(Argentina Twitter)-Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, OIH born 5 February 1985), commonly known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and is the captain of the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo is the most expensive player in football history after moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer deal worth £80 million (€94m, US$132m). In addition, his contract with Real Madrid, in which he is to be paid £11 million per year over the following six years, makes him the highest-paid football player in the world, and values him at €1 billion as per his buyout clause.
Ronaldo began his career as a youth player for Andorinha, where he played for two years, then moved to Nacional. In 1997, he made a move to Portuguese giants Sporting Clube de Portugal. Ronaldo's precocious talent caught the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and signed the 18-year-old for £12.24 million in 2003. The following season, Ronaldo won his first club honour, the FA Cup and played at Euro 2004 with Portugal.
Ronaldo scored his first international goal in the opening game of the tournament against Greece, although Greece won 2-1. Portugal reached the final, which they again lost to Greece. In 2008, Ronaldo won the Champions League with United, and was named player of the tournament. He was named the FIFPro World Player of the Year and the FIFA World Player of the Year, in addition to becoming Manchester United's first Ballon d'Or winner in 40 years. Ronaldo holds the distinction of being the first player to win the FIFA Puskás Award, an honour handed by FIFA to the best goal of the year. He scored that goal from 40 yards out against FC Porto in a UEFA Champions League quarter-final match, while playing for Manchester United.Three-time Ballon d'Or winner Johan Cruyff said in an interview on 2 April 2008, "Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis Law, who were two brilliant and great players in the history of United.
Manchester United
2003–2006
Ronaldo became Manchester United's first-ever Portuguese player when he signed for €15 million (£12.24 million) after the 2002–03 season. He requested the number 28 (his number at Sporting), as he did not want the pressure of living up to the expectation linked to the number 7 shirt, which had previously been worn by players such as George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, and David Beckham. "After I joined, the manager asked me what number I'd like. I said 28. But Ferguson said 'No, you're going to have No. 7,' and the famous shirt was an extra source of motivation. I was forced to live up to such an honour.
2006–2009
The 2006-2007 season proved to be the breakout year for Ronaldo, as he broke the 20 goal barrier for the first time and picked up his first league title with Manchester United.
In November and December 2006, Ronaldo received consecutive Barclays Player of the Month honours, becoming only the third player in Premier League history to do so after Dennis Bergkamp in 1997 and Robbie Fowler in 1996.He scored his 50th Manchester United goal against city rivals Manchester City on 5 May 2007 as United claimed their first Premier League title in four years, and he was voted into his second consecutive FIFPro Special Young Player of the Year award at the end of the year.
Real Madrid
2009–10 season
On 26 June 2009, Real Madrid confirmed that Ronaldo would join the club on 1 July 2009 from Manchester United for £80 million,after agreeing terms and signing a six-year contract. Ronaldo's contract is worth €11 million per year and it has a €1 billion buy-out clause. He was presented to the world media as a Real Madrid player on 6 July, where he was handed the number 9 jersey.The shirt was presented to him by Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stéfano. Ronaldo was welcomed by 80,000 fans at his presentation at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, surpassing Diego Maradona's record of 75,000 fans when he was presented in Italy, after he was transferred from Barcelona to Napoli in 1984.
Ronaldo made his Madrid debut on 21 July in a 1–0 win over Shamrock Rovers. His first goal came one week later with a penalty in Madrid's 4–2 LDU Quito. On 29 August, Ronaldo capped his La Liga debut with a goal, scoring Real's second from the penalty spot in a 3–2 home win against Deportivo La Coruña.[69] On 15 September, Ronaldo scored two free-kicks in a 5-2 away victory over Zürich, his first Champions League goals for Real. He broke a Madrid club record when he scored in a league match against Villarreal and thus became the first ever player to score in his first four La Liga appearances.
2010–11 season
With the departure of Raúl during the summer of 2010, Ronaldo handed the #7 jersey. On 23 October 2010, Ronaldo scored four goals against Racing de Santander,the most goals he has ever scored in a single match. This completed a goalscoring run of six consecutive matches (three in La Liga, one in the Champions League, and two for Portugal) in which Ronaldo scored in each match, totalling 11 goals, which is the most Ronaldo has scored in a single month. Before Real Madrid's 5-0 defeat by Barcelona at the Camp Nou, Ronaldo scored his second La Liga hat-trick of the season in a 5-1 win over Athletic Bilbao. His final match of the calendar year saw him score a hat-trick in a 8-0 trashing of Levante in the Copa del Rey.
Post-World Cup
One day after his 22nd birthday, Ronaldo captained Portugal for the first time in a friendly against Brazil on 6 February 2007.This move was in honour of Portuguese Football Federation president Carlos Silva, who had died two days earlier. Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari explained, "Mr. Silva asked me to make Ronaldo captain as a gesture... he is too young to be captain, but Mr. Silva asked me, and now he is no longer with us."
Euro 2008
Ronaldo scored eight goals in Portugal's UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, behind Poland's Ebi Smolarek, but finished with only one goal in the tournament as Portugal were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Germany.When Carlos Queiroz was named Portugal's new coach in July 2008, he appointed Ronaldo as team captain.
2010 World Cup
On 15 June 2010, in Portugal's opening World Cup match against Côte d'Ivoire, Ronaldo was tackled by right-back Guy Demel, which led to an argument and both being booked. The next day, Portugal contacted FIFA to suggest that Ronaldo's yellow card be rescinded since he was "pulled into" the confrontation after having already moved away from the spot where he was tackled, but the appeal was rejected.
Ronaldo failed to make an impact in the World Cup; after going scoreless in the qualifiers, his only goal came in Portugal's 7–0 group stage thrashing of North Korea on 21 June, which marked his first international goal in 16 months.Portugal were ultimately eliminated by Spain in the Round of 16.
Early life


Ronaldo was born in Santo António, a neighbourhood of Funchal, Madeira, the youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener. His second given name, "Ronaldo", was chosen after then-U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who was his father's favourite actor. He has one older brother, Hugo, and two older sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia.
Club career


Early career
At the age of eight, Ronaldo played for amateur team Andorinha, where his father was the kit man. In 1995, Ronaldo signed with local club Nacional, and, after a title-winning campaign, he went on a three-day trial with Sporting CP, who subsequently signed him for an undisclosed sum.
Sporting CP
Ronaldo joined Sporting's other youth players who trained at the Academia Sporting, the club's football academy, in Alcochete. He became the only player ever to play for Sporting's under-16, under-17, under-18, B-team, and the first team, all within one season. He scored two goals in his league debut on 7 October 2002, which Sporting CP won 3–0 against Moreirense, while featuring for Portugal in the 2002 European Under-17 Championship.
When he was 15, Ronaldo was diagnosed with a racing heart, a condition that might have forced him to give up playing football. The Sporting staff were made aware of the condition and Ronaldo's mother gave her authorisation for him to go into hospital. While there, he had an operation in which a laser was used to cauterise the area of his heart that was causing the problem. The surgery took place in the morning and Ronaldo was discharged from hospital by the end of the afternoon; he resumed training only a few days later.


Personal life


Ronaldo's father, José Dinis Aveiro, died of an alcoholism-related liver condition in September 2005 at age 52 when Ronaldo was 20. Ronaldo's mother and Manchester United coach have stated that he does not drink alcohol as a result and he has received libel damages over a Daily Mirror article that reported him drinking heavily in a nightclub while recovering from an injury in July 2008.
Ronaldo's autobiography, titled Moments, was published in December 2007. Along with one of his sisters, Ronaldo opened a fashion boutique under the name "CR7" (his initials and shirt number).There are currently two CR7 shop locations, both of which are in Portugal; one in Lisbon and the other in Madeira.
On 9 June 2010, Madame Tussauds London unveiled Ronaldo's waxwork as part of the build-up to the World Cup. Ronaldo joined fellow footballers Steven Gerrard, Pelé and David Beckham at the event's venue.
Ronaldo announced that he had become a father on 3 July 2010. His official Facebook and Twitter pages reference the birth of his son and request privacy. The child, named Cristiano is in full custody of Ronaldo and under the care of his mother and sisters.
In August 2010, Ronaldo reached 10 million fans on Facebook and in doing so made history by becoming the first non-American personality ever to achieve that kind of success on the social networking site.
Ronaldo has previously dated English model Gemma Atkinson and since the start of 2010, he has been dating Russian model Irina Shayk.
Philanthropy


Television footage of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami showed an eight-year-old boy wearing a #7 Portuguese football jersey who was stranded for 19 days after his family was killed. Following this, Ronaldo visited Aceh, Indonesia, to raise funds for rehabilitation and reconstruction.
In support of the victims of the 2010 Madeira flood, Ronaldo is to play in a charity match in Madeira between the Portuguese Liga club FC Porto and players from Madeiran based clubs Marítimo and Nacional

Felipe Calderón

(Argentina Twitter)-Felipe de Jesús Calderón Hinojosa, is the current President of Mexico. He assumed office on December 1, 2006, and was elected for a single six-year term through 2012. He is a member of the National Action Party (PAN), one of the three major Mexican political parties.
Calderón's narrow victory at election and ascendancy to the presidency was fraught with strife and controversy, and actively challenged by his opponents. The results were contested by his closest opponent, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who started what he called a "pacific civil resistance". Calderon's victory was confirmed on September 5, 2006 by the Federal Electoral Tribunal.
Prior to the presidency, Calderón actively participated in PAN politics. He has served as National President of the Party, Federal Deputy, and Secretary of Energy in Vicente Fox's cabinet.


First Employment Program
Fulfilling an electoral promise, President Calderón launched the First Employment Program, which aims to create new opportunities for people entering the job market. The program will give cash incentives to companies for hiring first-time job holders, including young people graduating from higher education and millions of women who have never worked.
The program has been interpreted as an effort to stop immigration into the United States.
Reactions to this program have been mixed. The president of the Mexican Association of Directors in Human Relations, Luis García, has anticipated a positive effect and even showed Nextel's subsidiary in Mexico as an example for hiring 14% of its new workforce in 2006 as people in their "first employment"
Immigration reform
Felipe Calderón has made immigration reform one of his main priorities.
Before meeting with President Bush in March 2007, Calderón openly expressed his disapproval of building a wall between the two nations. After the U.S. Senate rejected the Comprehensive immigration bill, President Calderon called the decision a "grave error".
Economic policy
The international price of corn rose dramatically throughout 2006, leading to the inflation of tortilla prices in the first month of Calderón's term. Because tortillas are the main food product consumed by the country's poorest, national concerns over the rising prices immediately generated political pressure on Calderón's administration.
The president opted to use price ceilings on tortillas that protected local consumers of corn.This price control came in the form of the Tortilla Price Stabilization Pact between the government and many of the main tortilla producing companies, including Grupo Maseca and Bimbo, to put a price ceiling at $8.50 pesos per kilogram of tortilla. The hope was that a ceiling on corn prices would provide incentive for the market to lower all prices nationally.
Critics argue that the pact was both nonbinding and a de facto acceptance of a 30% increase in the price of that product (from $5.95 pesos per kilogram to $8.50 pesos per kilogram). Many tortillerias ignored the agreement, leading to price increases well in excess of the $8.50. Government opposition sees this as an indication of the failure to protect the interests of its poor citizens.
However, several major supermarkets, such as Soriana and Comercial Mexicana, sell the tortillas at a lower price than the one in the agreement — as low as $5.10 pesos per kilogram — which is interpreted by liberals as evidence that price controls and the Tortilla Price Stabilization Pact were unnecessary. Additionally, PROFECO, a consumer protection government organization, has also threatened with jail those tortilla producers who charge "excessive" prices.
Three months after the pact was signed, the Secretariat of Economy informed the public that the price of tortillas was reduced in most of the 53 main cities of Mexico. However, in 27 cities and 15 states, the price remained above the agreed $8.50 pesos. In Tijuana, Morelia, San Luis Potosí, Ciudad Victoria, and Nuevo Laredo, the price of tortillas had risen despite the fact that the average price of corn has dropped from $3,500 pesos per ton to $2,500 pesos per ton. However, the director of the Maize Industry Council has defended the pact by minimizing the price increments in those cities, claiming that the pact was only intended for the Valley of Mexico, and not the whole country.
Guillermo Ortiz, governor of the Bank of Mexico, labeled the agreement "a success" for consumers and urged for it to continue as means to combat rising inflation.
Foreign policy
It is expected that Calderón will continue with the foreign policy started during Fox's term,known as the Castañeda Doctrine, in abandonment of the Estrada Doctrine. He has been expected to mediate with 'free market' Latin American countries.
Calderón has been a proponent of the Puebla-Panama Plan (PPP), started during the Fox administration. However, more than a simple continuation, Calderón has expanded the PPP, now including Colombia, and an agreement of cooperation against organized crime. Jorge G. Castañeda, Secretary of Foreign Affairs during the first half of Fox's administration and proponent of the "Castañeda Doctrine", has suggested that Calderón's leadership and the PPP should be used as a counter-part to Hugo Chávez's leadership of left-wing policies in Latin America. Calderón has stated that "the challenge (of the PPP) is to foster democratic practices with solid foundation in the region".
Another landmark has been the proposed Mérida Initiative, a security cooperation initiative between the United States and the government of Mexico and the countries of Central America, with the aim of combating the threats of drug trafficking and transnational crime.

Political and social views
Calderon describes himself as a devout Catholic and as such personally opposes euthanasia,unrestricted abortion, and gay marriage. Nevertheless, he supports current Mexican legislation guaranteeing abortion for rape victims, when pregnancy endangers a woman's life or in cases of severe fetal deformity; has publicly advocated the legalization of small quantities of cocaine and other drugs for addicts who agree to undergo treatment; and has approved a right-to-die law that allows terminally ill patients to refuse invasive treatment or extraordinary efforts to prolong their lives. As for his economic policies, he supports balanced fiscal policies, flat taxes, lower taxes, and free trade.
Presidency
Inauguration and cabinet appointments
The Mexican Constitution states that the President must be inaugurated by taking the oath of office before Congress in the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies. The PRD opposition had threatened to not allow Calderón to take the oath of office and be inaugurated as president. Ahead of claims that the PRD would disrupt the precedings, the PAN took control of Congress's main floor three days before the inauguration was scheduled.
On November 30, 2006, outgoing President Vicente Fox Quesada and still President-Elect Felipe Calderón Hinojosa stood side by side on national television as Fox turned over the presidential band to a cadet, who handed it to Calderón. Afterwards, Fox read a short speech indicating that he had concluded his mandate by receiving the flag "that had accompanied him during the last six years which he had devoted himself completely to the service of Mexico and had the utmost honor of being the president of the republic".Calderón then made a speech to the Mexican public indicating that he would still attend the inauguration ceremony at the Chamber of Deputies. He made a call to unity using words from his presidential campaign
Approval ratings
Speaking during Latin America Broadens Its Horizons, a session at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum.
According to a Parametria poll conducted from January 27 to January 30, Calderón's approval rating was 48%. The director of the polling firm, Francisco Abundis, attributed the decrease in Calderón's rating from an earlier 70% principally to the increase in the price of tortilla.
However, according to a poll by Grupo Reforma taken from February 16 to February 18, Calderón's current approval rating is of 58%. In this poll, Mexicans interviewed give President Calderón and his actions a score of 6.6 out of 10. He is best rated in his actions on issues related to health and reducing drug trafficking (60% and 59% approval respectively), and worst rated on domestic and foreign policy (33% approval each). Sixty percent of those interviewed judged that honesty was Calderón's best attribute during these first months of government. However, Reforma's breakdown of Calderóns approval rating found that the 54% of the interviewed who thought the 2006 election was legitimate gave the president a 77% approval rating, while the 34% who said they did not think the 2006 election was legitimate gave the president an approval rating of only 34%.
Orders, awards and recognition


By Mexican Law none of these titles are valid, and the President has accepted them as a courtesy to the foreign governments.

For Solanas, would be a mistake: an alliance of GEN and socialism with UCR

(Argentina Twitter)-Candidate for head of Government of Buenos Aires for Project South, the deputy Fernando "Pino" Solanas, warned this morning that "would be a mistake"that the GEN and socialism are part of an electoral front with the UCR, facing presidential elections October.


Solanas said that since their political power drives the objective of forming "an option to bipartisanship" by what he considered vital to add to GEN and socialism to a front of center.


I am convinced that it would be a mistake for the GEN and socialism in a front part with radicalism. We aim to form a two-party option, " he said the filmmaker on the radio.


The South Project owner put it this way hours before the meeting that presidential candidate maintained by radicalism, Ricardo Alfonsin, and the head of the SNB, Margarita Stolbizer, in an attempt to mend fences generated from a possible electoral agreement between the UCR and Francisco De Narváez.

The return of the subsidies to gas tariffs

(Argentina Twitter)-National Government decided bonus of 100% and 70% for natural gas consumption by networks of the next winter season, similar to those applied in the winter of 2010.
He did it through Resolution 1707/11 of the National Gas Regulatory Body (ENARGAS) published today (3 / 5) in the Official Gazette, which established a bonus equal to 100% for the "Cargo"-aimed at imports gas-to apply to residential users during June and July intake next.


You can give a bonus equal to 70%, of such office-residential users for consumption for August and September.


The Government also decided to exempt from payment of "cargo" for consumption from May to September to residential users in the provinces where lower temperatures are recorded.


The provinces benefited in this case are those of Mendoza, San Juan, San Luis, Neuquén, Black River, Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego, La Pampa and Buenos Aires.


In 2008, the Trust Fund was established to meet the natural gas imports necessary to supplement the natural gas injection and ensure domestic supply.


This fund consists of the "charge" rate to be paid by users of regulated services of transport and distribution, gas consumers receiving fluid directly from producers, and companies to try him.


The gift from the state is not justified: the house is located in the most expensive neighborhood in Buenos Aires, and for details the "beneficiaries" are not poor or destitute, or retired. Are, say, upper middle class. Neither seems to have run, the Minister of area emphatically declares that things are going well and that energy rates not increase. Lighter would need to water: the gift (unfair) looks set to continue.


That same day in January, the Argentina Association of Budgeting and Financial Management Service (ASAP) publishes interesting facts: Throughout 2010, the National Administration expenditure goes to subsidies amounted to $ 48,032,000, representing a 47% increase amount spent in 2009 and the increase of subsidies was led by the energy sector, which in 2010 received about $ 26,000 million, 63% more than in 2009.


A non-exhaustive list of these problems are: 1) Argentina has a chronic housing shortage for over 40 years is estimated at 2,800,000 homes, affecting more than 25% of the population, 2) requires not less of 4000 km of motorways and highways to transport in an efficient and safe agricultural production volume now reaches to 100 million tons and is designed to expand in the coming years, and 3) the electrification of suburban railways has not grown virtually nothing from the British branch opened in 1924, Moreno and Tigre, and this in a conurbation with a population that is growing and where transportation is highly inefficient, 4) the underground only half make it to the geographical Buenos Aires, when this had been achieved in 1913, and this list can continue ...


In this context, the challenge of politics and democracy is still to effectively address these and other problems. They must have a prioritization of goals and then an intelligent allocation of scarce resources, there are no shortcuts or magic bullets.


Not worth the recipe using the reserve of the Central Bank, inflation or output, or reckless borrowing.


You must use the taxes we pay all avoiding unproductive wasteful spending in our country has many forms. One way, and certainly not the only one, is failing to pay energy bills that do not.
