The inauguration of the President Néstor Kirchner gas pipeline will continue in recent days, various criticisms between the officials of the ruling party and the Cambiemos government. Now the former president Mauricio Macri endorsed the claims made by Juan Jose Arangurenhis former Minister of Energy, who refuted some of the ideas raised by the vice president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and his son, the national deputy max kirchner.
Through his social networks, the former president had maintained that the work arrived “three years late” and for that reason “it cost Argentina more than five billion dollars“. Now, he shared a column published by Aranguren in response to the writing of the owner of the Buenos Aires PJ, “The future is planned”in which he accused the macrista management of stop construction of the pipeline.

In another of his messages, Macri, who preferred “not to call the gas pipeline by name”, said that his story is “another example of the opportunities, the millions and the time that we Argentines lost due to the obstinacy of Kirchnerism destroy anything that it was made” by his government and, after congratulating the engineers, he called to take advantage of the work.
Aranguren and the “delay” of the gas pipeline
In a note titled “He doesn’t invent the past” and published in infobaearanguren called “false” the Maximo Kirchner’s statementswho had said that when Cristina Kirchner finished her presidency in 2015 “everything was ready to start with the gas pipeline.”
The former Minister of Energy cited the documents that former Kirchner officials gave him as part of the transfer of energy functions. “No reference was made to the need for expand transportation capacity from Vaca Muerta to Buenos Aires in the short or medium term”, he commented, at the same time assuring that this was due to the fact that at that time the country”did not produce enough natural gas to be able to fill the new pipe in most of the year”.
Then, he described that the production of natural gas had a sharp decline between 2004 and 2014, explaining that it went from 143 million cubic meters per day to a minimum of 114 million that year. “President Macri’s administration brought natural gas production to 135 million cubic meters per day in 2019,” he wrote.
Aranguren added that hydrocarbon production had just started “a true picture of gas supply for the immediate future”. “It was so that the administration Macri issued DNU 465/2019 at the beginning of July 2019″ for call a national and international tender for the provision of the natural gas transportation service between Tratayen(NQN)-Saliqueló(BA)-San Nicolás(BA), the former minister continued, saying that later the date of Bid opening on 09/12/2019.
This was extended by the former president until March 2020 and later by Alberto Fernández, until December of that year.
Along these lines, the chemical engineer accused the administration of the current president to do nothing to execute the project and added that “his second secretary of energy Darío Martínez is repealed on 12/29/2020 the tender launched by the previous administration”.
Finally, he concluded by saying that “facts are sacred” and that it is worth asking why the ruling party “did not consider its implementation as a public work at that time instead of waiting more than two years.

“You have to tell the whole truth”
Later, in statements to continental radio, the former member of Macri’s cabinet also crossed Cristina Kirchner after her speech at the gas pipeline inauguration ceremony. “He said that the decision of the YPF renationalization it had taken it because there was a multinational that in the previous year had remitted dividends abroad, but Repsol could send dividends to its parent company due to commitments agreed upon by its administration, by her ex-husband, former President Kirchner“.
“With this commitment, 90% of the profits of each year will be sent abroad for 10 years. You have to tell the whole truthAranguren said.
“It is taking advantage of an energy fact that will have to celebrate the possibility of considering a natural resource such as natural gas as a positive event for society. Taken out for political campaign. That’s what I felt,” the businessman concluded.
