At the beginning of the note on No Te Duermas, Silvina Samparisi spoke about the assembly they had in Morón: “There was a session in the Deliberative Council, yesterday we were present. We dealt with almost all the security files but well, the ruling party, as we already knew, imposed files that had nothing to do with security and then brought them forward. But we were able to do it, unfortunately the most important one was the interpellation of the mayor, which we asked for first and they agreed to debate it, we could not win it.”
“The idea was that the mayor would approach the Council and have the opportunity to explain to the residents and councillors what the government’s intention is, how it will work to deal with everything that is insecurity in Morón, how it will use the budget that is still left, which is more than 60 percent. Unfortunately we did not win, we were two votes short,” he added.
In line with this, he explained that “we are in November, I took the numbers for October from the Municipality system and, of the total security budget, they have used 44 percent for that month” and that “on top of that, of the most important program, which is security coordination and crime prevention, only 40 percent is left.”
“There is 60 percent missing, which they should have used in these months because it seems that there were no needs for the mayor, or they had other priorities to allocate funds,” he added.
The budget issue
The interviewee then stressed the lack of clarifications from the mayor: “Unfortunately, this Municipality is not going as it should and does not give importance to the issue of security. Before, they spoke of a feeling and now they simply do not speak and do not want to face an interpellation, which is the opportunity that the mayor has to explain what he is going to do in relation to this issue that affects all of us in Morón.”
“We still do not know anything about what happened with the rest of the budget, we will find out in the accountability report in April of next year. For now it is available to be used, surely by the end of December they will reassign it,” she added.
She also maintained that “we have the system available in the Deliberative Council but only one computer for the 24 councilors” and that “whoever wants to go to see information has to go around asking permission from the rest. In turn, the page, if any neighbor enters it, does not have any information of any kind, beyond what we as councilors can see.”
The lack of transparency
In the final part of the interview, the UCR councilor remarked: “There are certain incomes that we are not allowed when it should be allowed at any level. So unfortunately what is transparency, which was always a flag of the Morón district, does not exist today.”
“The reallocation of a budget is a power that, much to our regret, only the mayor has and that for me would have to go through the councilors first. Now we have to do it with the 2025 budget by discussing and then approving it. It is a discussion of the entire Council,” she indicated.
To close, she said that “beyond the fact that it is a political issue of the mayor in his management style, it is approved from here” and that “there we have the possibility of telling him if it seems good to us or if it needs to be adjusted in other areas. It can be discussed and modified.”
