The legislator and candidate for deputy for Fuerza Republicana (FR) Ricardo Bussi harshly criticized the governor’s decision Osvaldo Jaldo to take leave from his position to dedicate himself fully to the electoral campaign.
“Jaldo chose to become a testimonial candidate. He preferred to do politics rather than govern, leaving Tucumán without leadership at a critical moment,” said Bussi.
The opposition leader recalled that, upon taking office, the provincial president promised to improve security, generate employment, repair sewers, guarantee schools in good condition and modernize public transportation.
The Legislature approved Jaldo’s license during the electoral campaign
However, he warned that the reality of the people of Tucuman is far from those promises, since insecurity “is on the rise with increasingly violent criminal acts, the lack of job opportunities pushes young people to emigrate, collapsed sewers and infrastructure works remain postponed, schools continue to deteriorate without real investment in education and public transportation functions poorly with buses in poor condition and constantly increasing rates.”
“An absent governor”
“The governor who promised solutions is now hiding behind a campaign. His license is not a right, it is irresponsibility. Tucumán does not need a testimonial candidate, it needs a present governor who will take charge of the crisis that he himself deepened,” Bussi emphasized.
“I am stepping away from office for a month so as not to mix government and politics,” said Jaldo.
Finally, Bussi assured that Fuerza Republicana will continue to point out the abuses and defend every Tucuman who today feels “abandoned” by a government “without answers.”
