NewsTranscript
00:00It is about to start the inauguration of the period of ordinary sessions of the Portean legislature,
00:06second speech of Jorge Macri as head of the Portean government during this period of government.
00:14The formality of the start of these ordinary sessions,
00:20the Argentine national anthem,
00:22which is logically part of each of these ceremonies,
00:27prior to what will be the use of the word of the head of government of the city of Buenos Aires.
00:35A Saturday morning with the applause of the legislators,
00:39with the hoisting of the Argentine flag,
00:43on a day that is also marked by what will be the national chain,
00:46at night, when President Javier Milley speaks from the National Congress.
00:54A high load of political information during this beginning of the weekend.
01:00In this case, in the legislature of the city of Buenos Aires,
01:04memory and balance will surely be made of what happened in the first year of management,
01:08and the challenges from now on will also be raised.
01:13Good morning to all, good morning to the neighbors of the city of Buenos Aires.
01:21Mr. President of the Legislature, Clara Mucio,
01:25ladies and gentlemen legislators of the city of Buenos Aires,
01:29representatives of the different political forces,
01:33members of the Cabinet,
01:35national deputies,
01:37authorities of the judicial power,
01:41both of the city of Buenos Aires and national and federal,
01:46religious authorities,
01:50members of the diplomatic corps,
01:54representatives of the private sector, of the armed forces,
01:57security forces,
01:59and of the workers of the city of Buenos Aires.
02:03Belu, my wife, good morning, hello,
02:07to my family who accompanies me,
02:11and dear neighbors of the city of Buenos Aires.
02:16Good morning to all.
02:18As head of government, I have the honor and responsibility
02:21to address this message to this honorable legislature
02:25and start a new period of sessions.
02:29First of all, I thank you for the intense work
02:31during the extraordinary period that has just concluded.
02:35In particular, the treatment and approval of the suspension of ASPASO
02:39gives account of the maturity and responsibility
02:42that this moment demands of us,
02:44thinking in the interest of the citizens, not in ours.
02:49All of us who love this city should never lose sight
02:52of who are our true bosses, the porters.
02:57Buenos Aires is its people.
03:00The soul of this city are those who every day strive
03:03to progress, undertake, and grow.
03:07We work for them,
03:09because they chose us to represent them
03:12and make their lives easier, not to complicate them.
03:16I highly value that this legislature has approved the 20-25 budget,
03:21with balance, without deficit,
03:24and the lowest level of debt in the last 12 years.
03:29Having our first budget is something relevant,
03:34because it orders priorities,
03:36gives predictability and transparency.
03:40In the city, we have made a cult of fiscal balance.
03:44We don't need to be taught how to do it.
03:48In addition, last year,
03:50we reduced the expense by 8.6%.
03:55We eliminated 10% of political positions.
03:59We reduced almost 10,000 contracts
04:02and 18% of the hiring of political advisors.
04:10We are clear that we can be as efficient as effective
04:14when, instead of wanting to eliminate the State,
04:17we manage with austerity, prudence and responsibility,
04:21taking care of resources and not spending more than is generated.
04:26Administering in this way, with a fiscal surplus of around 4%,
04:31not only did we sustain, but we increased the level of investment
04:35in the public sector, up to 19% of the budget.
04:40The public sector in the city does not slow down, on the contrary, it accelerates.
04:44We are doing it with the hydraulic plan,
04:47ending this year what we had planned for 2027.
04:52When this plan began,
04:54Mauricio Macri promised the Porteños
04:56that when the works were done, they would not flood.
05:01And that happened.
05:03The No Se Inunda Mas is a trademark of a management
05:07that makes concrete transformations
05:10that changed and simplified the life of the Porteños forever.
05:14The H line of Subte, the Paseo del Bajo,
05:18the 10 bus corridors,
05:20the video surveillance system and the digital ring,
05:25the low-level steps, the viaducts
05:28and an education and public health system
05:31at the level of the best cities in the world.
05:39But we are not satisfied with all this.
05:42Yesterday we announced, after a long time,
05:45a new line of Subte, the F line.
05:58Along with the tram, it is a modern,
06:01silent, 100% sustainable system
06:05with which we will continue to transform the mobility of the city
06:10so that the Porteños have a better connected city
06:13and can move better and faster.
06:18And here I want to make a stop to explain why now.
06:25If we had wanted to speculate with the F line,
06:28we would have made an announcement in the campaign.
06:30Far from that, in the debate,
06:33in the meetings of neighbors, in the campaign,
06:36we said several times that we could not make the F line
06:41or a line of Subte.
06:44Why? Because we need to get to government,
06:47plan, verify deadlines, plans,
06:51engineering, legal frameworks,
06:54but above all because the country at that time
06:57was not sure it could take the necessary debt
07:01for such a relevant project as the Subte project.
07:07Today, that macroeconomy, that trust in the world,
07:11that more serious positioning,
07:13that fiscal balance that has been achieved,
07:15allows the city, with its own resources and access to credit,
07:19to face such a relevant project as the Subte-F and the Trambús.
07:24So there is no speculation here.
07:26There is seriousness, as always.
07:28When we commit to doing a project,
07:30we not only announce it, we do it, we finish it and we fulfill it.
07:38For us, governing is transforming.
07:42We came for that.
07:44We have a long history of love with this city,
07:46with its people, with its neighborhoods and its identity.
07:50Managing under the PRO method means, above all,
07:53listening, studying, planning, implementing, evaluating,
07:59and, whenever necessary, correcting.
08:03Asking questions, looking for the best models,
08:07encouraging us to innovate,
08:09challenging us and challenging the dynamic complexity
08:13that Buenos Aires presents to us.
08:16With firmness to face the problems
08:20and sensitivity with the most valuable thing we have,
08:24the people.
08:26Because in this city, no one is disposable.
08:30There are probably many things to break in this country,
08:35but this city must be taken care of and improved.
08:38And that is not achieved with the arrogance of believing
08:41that we have all the answers.
08:43The only change is the one that is made,
08:46with concrete answers and solutions to concrete problems.
08:51In almost 20 years, we have tripled the level of investments
08:54in public works and we have reduced political spending
08:58by saving and looking for efficiencies.
09:01Every time we save, we do two things.
09:04Either we reduce taxes,
09:06or we return what we save with better quality services.
09:11Before making a brief balance,
09:13I want to highlight the projects approved by this legislature,
09:17and I particularly refer to the law of reiteration
09:22and the creation of the labor forum and the new urban code.
09:26Thank you very much for the work of all the blocks.
09:34Reiteration was our first project in this legislature
09:39and today it is a national law,
09:42a key tool to end the revolving door.
09:46Detaining the same criminal up to 28 times was unsustainable.
09:51That is over.
09:54Along with reiteration, the Senate approved the law of absence judgment,
09:58an initiative that the space in which I belong
10:01presented in 2014,
10:03which was taken again by this national government.
10:07I would like to underline the relevance it has for the city,
10:11which was the scene of two international terrorist attacks,
10:15two of the most painful in our history.
10:19We have always accompanied and supported the just claim
10:22of the relatives of the victims of the AMIA
10:25and also of the Israeli embassy,
10:27and we will continue to do so,
10:29as we will continue to claim the liberation
10:32of all those who have been kidnapped by Hamas
10:35and who have to return with their families.
10:45Never again an attack on the peaceful coexistence of our city.
10:50The fight against terrorism and discrimination
10:53is part of our commitment to an open and plural city,
10:58with the democratic values of tolerance and freedom.
11:03If we manage to get here working together,
11:06I have no doubt that we will continue to advance
11:09in the respect of our differences
11:11and a constructive legislative dialogue.
11:16The good work done by the government of President Meley
11:19to order macroeconomics
11:21and that millions of Argentines continue to accompany with hope
11:24presents a scenario where growth is seen more clearly.
11:29We are part of a country whose destiny is also ours.
11:33Let's not lose sight of the fact that the city contributes
11:3720% of the national GDP.
11:40And I take this opportunity because in several private meetings
11:44with some governors,
11:46they fill their mouths saying that nothing is produced in the city.
11:50One out of every five pesos of this country is produced here,
11:54in this city, which is not just services,
11:57it is industry, it is production, it is creativity, it is export.
12:02Therefore, if the city is doing well,
12:05without a doubt, the country will also do well.
12:09But I want to insist on a fundamental concept.
12:12The most important thing this city has is out there,
12:16and it is the Portuguese.
12:18I was elected to govern for four years,
12:21and in the first, with the entire management team,
12:24we advanced on six axes,
12:26with a proper agenda on autonomy,
12:30modernization and efficiency of the State,
12:33security, order and mobility,
12:37development of the South,
12:39which, in addition, this week we present the Master Plan
12:43with great success in many private investors
12:46who also want to join the South,
12:51and the axis of care with education, health and human development.
12:56We advanced in our autonomy with significant achievements.
13:00In dialogue and coordination with the national government,
13:03we recovered the 2.95% of the co-participation
13:06that Kirchnerism took away from us in an unconstitutional way.
13:12Yes, our claim to the Supreme Court is still firm
13:22for the 3.5% established in the fiscal pact of 2017
13:28and the almost 6 billion dollars that the nation owes to the Portuguese
13:35since September 2020.
13:38We also advanced with the transfer of the 31 lines of collectives
13:43that the nation transferred to us and whose transfer we accept
13:48and a system that we are already improving and modernizing,
13:51among other things, with the multipayment system.
13:55With the support of this legislature, today we have a labor forum
13:59and a process code of our own work.
14:02Even so, we need to advance with the transfer
14:06of other judicial competencies in criminal, civil and commercial matters.
14:13This year is a good time to discuss what we lack
14:16so that you recognize the autonomy that corresponds to us.
14:20That is why I ask you, or rather I ask us,
14:24do we want to discuss whether the port or the retreat terminal
14:28have to be of the city or must continue to be of the nation?
14:33Are we going to discuss the extension of criminal justice
14:37or will it continue to be of national jurisdiction?
14:41Will commercial societies or civil entities be able to register in the city
14:46or will we continue to depend on a national, distant, old, slow IGJ?
14:52Are we going to sit at the table where the energy policy of the city is defined?
14:58Which legislators will accompany us in the claim of almost 6 billion dollars
15:03for the debt of co-participation?
15:10This is a long discussion from 30 years ago
15:13and to be able to solve it means to understand what it is to be autonomous
15:17and what concrete consequences it has for the life of each porter or porter.
15:23And in this context I want to announce that we have decided to send
15:27to this legislature a project of the Autonomous Emergency Law
15:32to request the Honorable Congress of the Nation
15:35to advance with the transfer agreements that are already signed but without approval.
15:42The project, in turn, entrusts it to the General Prosecution of the City
15:46and enables this legislature to take the appropriate measures
15:50to advance both politically and judicially.
15:54Likewise, I entrusted the Ministry of Justice to promote the actions
16:00to carry out the transfer of judicial competences to the city.
16:07We trust that all political spaces will accompany us in this initiative
16:12that has a single objective, to defend the autonomy of all porters.
16:19We are moving towards a more efficient state, smaller and that charges less taxes.
16:25The reduction we made of the 8.6% of political spending
16:29meant a general savings of 860 billion pesos last year.
16:36That allowed us to lower taxes to more than 320,000 taxpayers,
16:41retirees, people with disabilities who stopped paying the VAT,
16:46independent professionals and service providers
16:50recover their gross income today in 48 hours in the city of Buenos Aires.
16:57To be able to continue lowering taxes, it is essential that the legislature
17:01approve the Tax Benefit Law, which also includes the addition to the RIGI
17:06and the regularization of assets.
17:09On the other hand, to allow those who were affected by the crisis
17:14to get on with their day, we sent to the legislature a plan
17:18of regularization of administrative and judicial debts
17:22for the taxes that the city of Buenos Aires charges.
17:26Last year, we introduced the Simplification Law,
17:30with which we facilitated and eliminated 157 procedures for the productive sector.
17:38In this sense, to end the paperwork and the loss of time
17:42that merchants suffer, we are going to implement the digital book.
17:46This will allow us to efficiently centralize and manage information
17:51about all the economic activity that is enabled and subject to inspection.
17:56We are also going to send a project for more than 60 procedures
18:00related to the civil registry, licenses, permits and licenses, among others,
18:06to be totally free of charge.
18:10With firmness and with political decision, we fulfill and end
18:14with the courts and pickets and acampes with a clear principle.
18:19The order and the fulfillment of the law in the city are not negotiated.
18:24We gave, and we will continue to give, the battle against illegal sale
18:38and we took out the workers from Once, Retiro, Constitución,
18:43Parque Centenario, Parque de los Patricios, Florida and Avenida Avellaneda.
18:48We are on the side of the formal workers who invest,
18:51generate employment and pay their taxes.
18:57I remember when all the TV programs in the morning,
19:02before the change that people voted for at the national level
19:07and our continuity in the city,
19:10in addition to the transit of time,
19:13informed the courts and the pickets that were in the city,
19:16preventing many people from coming to circulate,
19:20work, study and seek health with freedom.
19:23That is over, it does not happen anymore in the city of Buenos Aires.
19:33We left behind the anachronistic discussion about low-lethal weapons.
19:38We have already incorporated 700 Taser and Virna,
19:41we have installed 300 insurance points and we have 16,000 security cameras.
19:47Almost 27,000 police officers risk their lives every day to take care of us.
19:53My deepest recognition of the professionalism and courage of all the police in the city.
20:00That is why we decided to expand the assistance to the families of police officers
20:06and firefighters who have fallen in the fulfillment of their duty.
20:12Because the children of police officers and firefighters
20:16who have fallen in the fulfillment of their duty are our children,
20:21they are the children of the city.
20:24From the government we do everything that is within our reach
20:27so that the city is one of the safest capitals in Latin America.
20:31But crossing the General Paso, the Riachuelo,
20:34crime advances uncontrollably.
20:38We have managed to maintain security,
20:40but it would be much easier if the governor took seriously the fight against crime.
20:46In this sense, we wait attentively for the message of Governor Kicillof
20:50to know what his plan is against the insecurity that hits the province
20:56and that has already taken the lives of 13 of our police officers,
21:02of the last 14 police officers who have fallen in the fulfillment of their duty,
21:0813 died coming and going from their homes in the province of Buenos Aires,
21:13most of them in La Matanza.
21:16We are going to end up with the Mafia de los Trapitos,
21:20who extort and believe themselves to be street owners.
21:23That is why we are going to send to this legislature
21:27a project of modification of the contraventional code
21:31that raises penalties and arrests.
21:36I would not like to close the security axis
21:39without referring to the situation of prisoners in our police stations and Alcaidías.
21:46I know and it is true that, as Minister Bullrich says,
21:50all provinces have their prison systems,
21:53but they also have their own justice.
21:57And the Minister knows well that since this city was created,
22:01we have never had full justice or a penitentiary service.
22:07So there can be no magic in the solution.
22:11This is not solved suddenly.
22:14And while the crimes are national, the prisoners are from the federal penitentiary service.
22:20That is why I ask Minister Bullrich and the Government of the Nation
22:26to collaborate in this direction.
22:30This can be solved by working together.
22:35We are already taking charge of the deep solution.
22:40We have started again the construction of Marcos Paz's prison.
22:47But we cannot continue to have prisoners where they should not be,
22:52and they are a danger to all porters.
22:55Because it is about taking care of the porters.
23:09I want to reiterate and be clear on this issue,
23:12because it worries a lot of people and also all political spaces.
23:17And I will reiterate this last point.
23:20We are already taking charge of the deep solution,
23:24which is the creation of our own penitentiary service.
23:28But for that we need the transfer of full criminal responsibilities.
23:34We are building the prison, but again,
23:38we cannot continue to have prisoners where they should not be,
23:42and they are a danger to all.
23:44It is about taking care of the porters.
23:47This must be our priority,
23:50no matter the political color we represent.
24:00In this sense, we are going to present a project to create a city penitentiary service
24:06for the exclusive accommodation of the prisoners at the disposal of the criminal,
24:10contraventional and local courts,
24:13with everything necessary to manage this urgent problem.
24:20Moving faster, comfortable and safe in the city
24:24is the main objective of our integrated system of urban mobility.
24:30That is why we also changed the name of the Ministry of Infrastructure
24:35to the Ministry of Mobility and Infrastructure.
24:41Yesterday we announced the line F of the subway
24:44and two lines of trams to interconnect the entire city.
24:48We trust that this legislature will approve the necessary budget
24:52to complete this project
24:54and open the corresponding tender soon,
24:57which will allow more than 300,000 passengers to move on that line.
25:02In addition, we invested 370 billion pesos
25:06to completely renovate the tram system of line B
25:11and modernize lines A and C,
25:14an old claim of users and also of subway workers.
25:20We also incorporated security cameras in all cars.
25:25Let us remember that about 800,000 people move daily on the subway.
25:32In the 31 lines of buses in the city,
25:34we are renovating the routes
25:36and equipping them with 7,000 cameras for the entire fleet.
25:41In addition, we are going to incorporate 12 fully electric buses
25:46that will circulate through the historic center of the city.
25:50This system moves 1 million passengers daily.
25:55As we promised in the campaign,
25:57we implemented the multipayment system
26:00and we ended up with the monopoly of the subway,
26:03because monopolies are always bad,
26:05whether they are state or private.
26:08And today everyone freely chooses how to pay
26:11and, in addition, it is cheaper for them
26:14by using promotions and discounts from banks.
26:18We believe and want and defend a single Buenos Aires,
26:22without borders or divisions.
26:24Continuing with the development of the south is an absolute priority.
26:30An area that has an immense potential for growth,
26:34as we were seeing these days with the mayor of Miami and Medellín,
26:39who came to share their experiences with us
26:42and with representatives from different sectors of international urbanism
26:47and local development.
26:51On Thursday, as I said, we presented that integral project
26:56that bets on public-private collaboration.
27:00With the new urban code approved by this legislature,
27:03we encourage the construction sector
27:05to bet on the value of the Olympic neighborhood.
27:08And after the approval of that project,
27:11keep in mind that the previous bid only had a proposal for a lot,
27:16after the approval of that budget,
27:19we have more than 20 projects of medium and large investment
27:23that amounts to more than 120 million dollars of private investment
27:27for housing and logistics centers
27:32and, in addition, through Banco Ciudad,
27:36mortgage loans with a preferential rate for the southern neighborhoods.
27:41And we are advancing in something very important,
27:44such as the chance to take a mortgage loan in El Pozo.
27:49Why is this important?
27:52In all political spaces,
27:54we always look for something important,
27:57which is the access to housing in a more accessible, more economic way.
28:04By not being able to access a loan in El Pozo,
28:07how does the market work today?
28:09The developer cannot finance the entire project,
28:12enters El Pozo in a fideicomiso,
28:16against a ticket, against a commitment of a ticket.
28:20Who enters that intermediate investment
28:24and raises the price of access
28:27to who is finally looking to have access to housing.
28:31This is what will allow,
28:34without that legal, correct,
28:38but also speculative participation of intermediation,
28:42who needs to access a house,
28:45can do it with a mortgage from El Pozo in a cheaper way.
28:50So that is the way to generate movement,
28:54to encourage the private market,
28:56but allow as soon as possible access with credit.
29:00So I want to thank,
29:02because Banco Ciudad is leading a very relevant process
29:05with the possibility of having mortgage credit in El Pozo
29:08and thus allowing thousands and thousands of families in the city
29:12who deserve to have access to housing and stop renting.
29:23At the same time, we are reinforcing tourism
29:26with works of value in Caminito and La Boca.
29:30They told us that no one was going to the south to see a show,
29:35and last year more than a million and a half people
29:39attended recitals, massive events
29:42and various proposals in the city park and the racetrack,
29:46where we invested to recover its splendor.
29:49The TC, the Top Race and the road tourism
29:52have become headquarters again,
29:54and we continue to work to bring Formula 1
29:58and the MotoGP back to Argentina.
30:02Because we want to become an international headquarters again
30:06as a country and as a city of this wonderful show
30:10that also places cities and countries in the world as Formula 1.
30:15Our public health system,
30:18which serves more than a million patients every year
30:21in more than 80 sectors, is universal and solidary.
30:26But the possibility of giving priority to the Porteños,
30:32who are the ones who sustain them with their taxes,
30:35is not enough.
30:36I would also like to say that this year,
30:39we attended to 20% more people in the city's public health system.
30:45Many of them middle-class people
30:48who had to give up the possibility of having private coverage.
30:52We continue to invest in the health system
30:55and that is why we finished 90 projects in 2024,
30:59and this year we have several more,
31:01providing our care services also in the neighborhoods.
31:05The quality of human and professional care
31:09is the invaluable differential that all our health personnel contribute.
31:13Thank you for your commitment.
31:15And also in 2024, we performed 50,000 surgeries,
31:2012,000 more than the previous year,
31:23more than 25% of growth,
31:27so my thanks and congratulations to the public health system of the city of Buenos Aires.
31:37Without a doubt, the SAME is a pride of the city
31:40and a reference in the region.
31:42We are expanding the operation with the SAME Aéreo Nocturno,
31:46another of the commitments I made in the campaign,
31:49because emergencies also occur at night,
31:52and this allows helicopters to reach any point in the city in 4 minutes.
31:58Along with health, in the policy of care,
32:01education is a priority area,
32:03with the greatest participation in our budget.
32:07Embracing the whole system, public and private,
32:11in the strategic plan Buenos Aires Learns,
32:14we changed a paradigm.
32:16We went from teaching to learning.
32:21Because what transforms someone is not my will to teach them something,
32:26but that person, that child, that young person has learned.
32:31Especially in elementary school, with a very strong focus on languages,
32:37mathematics and emotional abilities.
32:41We launched Ciudad Bilingüe,
32:44an online, free and international platform,
32:49where there are already more than 170,000 registered students studying and learning English.
32:56These are not advertisements, they are realities.
33:00We brought TUMO,
33:02a non-formal education program for high school students,
33:06where more than 17,000 children will be able to study
33:10and develop their artistic, technological and creative skills.
33:16We plan to open three centers.
33:19The first in Barracas.
33:22It will also be the first in Latin America,
33:26adding countries like the United States, Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain,
33:33Portugal and Armenia, where it emerged.
33:36Without denying the value of technology,
33:39we regulated the use of cell phones in the classroom
33:42and put on the table a central issue,
33:46infantile ludopathy and techno-addiction.
33:50Our position is clear.
33:52Boys and girls, no!
34:04Many teenagers are hostages of technology
34:08and the cell phone generates a dependency that disengages them.
34:16Instead of giving more freedom, it limits it.
34:21I remember in several meetings the concern and commitment of parents,
34:26especially mothers,
34:28who with great sensitivity see this danger,
34:31as well as teachers in our schools.
34:35Thank you all for that valuable vocation of care and prevention.
34:41Another challenge we faced was to fight the paradigm
34:45in the attention of people on the street.
34:49The street is not a place to live.
34:53Believe me, the street is not a good place to live.
34:57And it is enough to talk to many of those who work on the problem of people on the street.
35:03Even if you arrive healthy, the street will break you.
35:08And we leave behind the look of only assistentialism.
35:12With our network of attention, the 47 social inclusion centers
35:17are a new segmentation policy of the offer
35:21with a social inclusion center only for families,
35:24or only for women,
35:27or for adult men,
35:29or for people with addictions or mental health problems.
35:35And above all, we promote the reinsertion of each one of them.
35:41For example, that was the case of Gabriela,
35:44a mother who in 2023 could not continue to pay the pension
35:48and had to go to sleep in a square in front of Santoyani with her two children.
35:54A month later, she entered a social inclusion center.
35:58Today, she already has a job.
36:01One of her children studies medicine,
36:04and the youngest, who is in elementary school, plays soccer in Boca.
36:16With the protocol Zero Children on the Street,
36:19we reduce 90% the number of minors in this chronic situation of vulnerability.
36:26Children have to be at school, at home, not on the street.
36:32We also create our own mental health protocol
36:38to assist people with problematic consumption and their families,
36:43and we implement psychiatric examinations.
36:49I would not like to close this chapter without referring to the investment in culture.
36:55For us, it is an investment and not an expense,
37:01because it is a heritage that identifies us as a city full of talent.
37:09It is a pride to have brought back Julio Boca
37:12to the front of the stable ballet of Teatro Colón.
37:16Thank you very much, Julio, for believing again in Argentina,
37:19in your theater and in the city of Buenos Aires.
37:23Or having supported the book fair,
37:26or having expanded the cultural passage for older adults,
37:29or doubling the Bafisi bet,
37:32or accompanying the launch of our theatrical season a few days ago.
37:38But I want to focus on the relevance of the qualitative leap we are making
37:43with Teatro Colón, because it is not only the incorporation of Julio,
37:48it is the incorporation of a series of professionals of international reference
37:53who are looking for an important goal.
37:57It seemed that the Argentines had lost Teatro Colón.
38:00It was closed for many years.
38:03Several managers proposed that they were going to open it.
38:06We did it.
38:08We recovered the building, we opened its doors,
38:12we made it work again, we recovered that icon of the culture
38:16and of the Porteño and Argentine pride.
38:20But Teatro Colón is much more than a stage.
38:23Teatro Colón is not just about generating programming.
38:27Teatro Colón must be a school of talents,
38:31because the most important thing this city has is its people.
38:36We don't have renewable energies, we don't have lithium,
38:40we don't have a dead cow, we have wonderful people
38:43who conquer the world, who challenge themselves.
38:46And the world of culture also allows us to export talent
38:50in a constant and permanent way.
38:52The audiovisual industry is another demonstration of that.
38:56That is why the big challenge, the big bet we have
39:00is that someone can enjoy their passion,
39:03what makes them move, mobilize, vibrate,
39:07from a cultural point of view, but who can also be successful,
39:11live from that, conquer the world, and represent us in the world.
39:15And that must become Teatro Colón again,
39:18a school of talents that represents Argentina all over the world
39:22and that will be envied again, not only for a wonderful building,
39:26but for artists like Julio Boca, Paloma Herrera, and so many others.
39:38As I was saying, culture is also an opportunity.
39:41That is why local talent in genres like trap, or freestyle, or esports,
39:46or the gamer culture, makes us a global, open, and innovative city.
39:53Congratulations to those who organized the festival Trap de la Ciudad.
39:57It was a joy to see those artists, so urban, so from the Portean culture,
40:03enjoying those days in a wonderful way with so many young people.
40:07My congratulations to the Equipo del Sur, to the events,
40:10and especially to the privates who organized that event,
40:13and to the Argentine artists who enjoyed the Argentine applause again
40:17while they continue to conquer the world. Congratulations to them.
40:24This year we will be the headquarters of the Union of Ibero-American Capital Cities.
40:29The regional leadership that we want to consolidate,
40:32and the interest that awakens Buenos Aires, is for its people,
40:36its hospitality, and the opportunities it offers,
40:39projecting it as one of the best cities in Latin America
40:44to live, to study, and to invest.
40:49But also, and I want to focus on this, an inclusive city.
40:55A city also with opportunities for everyone.
40:58In that sense, we want to shed light on the problem,
41:03or on a broad and diverse problem, that of disability.
41:09An axis that is led by our Vice-Chair, Clara Mucio.
41:13Thank you for that commitment.
41:22Because beyond being an axis, we have to break prejudices.
41:26We have to shed light on the issue.
41:30We have to be able to talk about the issue,
41:34without fear, without shame.
41:37I have a motor disability, a minor one, but I have it.
41:43But I am no less than that.
41:47Members of our Cabinet have it.
41:49Many of the members of our team have children with a disability.
41:53Many of you must have a child, a relative,
41:57or some of you have a disability.
42:01Let's not look any further.
42:04Because the biggest barrier that exists is the cultural one,
42:08the non-visual one,
42:11from which the worst problems arise.
42:14From which the worst problems arise.
42:18Prejudice and discrimination.
42:22We must lead this agenda of inclusion,
42:25also from the city of Buenos Aires,
42:28so that it lights up this discussion throughout the nation.
42:31We have to end the cultural and discrimination barriers
42:35that we generate to a person with a disability.
42:40Our agenda...
42:49Our agenda in Buenos Aires, first of all,
42:52is more autonomy, more security, more education and health,
42:56better mobility, and more cleanliness for the people of Buenos Aires.
43:00We will continue to invest in security
43:02so that Buenos Aires continues to be one of the safest capitals in America.
43:07We are incorporating patrols, motorcycles, vehicles,
43:11more Taser and VIRNA,
43:13equipment for police and firefighters,
43:16more cameras throughout the city, in subways and buses,
43:20and works in police stations and Alcaidías
43:22with the highest security investment in the history of the city.
43:26We have planned the entry of more than 1,200 cadets
43:29to our Superior Institute of Public Security.
43:33In addition, we are going to finish the works of the Marcos Paz Penalty
43:36to be able to release the prisoners of the Devoto prison.
43:42We know that the cleaning of the city continues to generate complaints.
43:46We are increasing control over the service providers
43:51and redefining collection itineraries
43:55and incorporating anti-vandal containers
43:58and technology to intervene on critical points.
44:03I see that you are having fun with my mistake of releasing the prisoners,
44:07of transferring them to the Marcos Paz Penalty, obviously.
44:10We do not want to release them, we want to get them out of there.
44:14In reality, we want to free the neighbors of Devoto
44:17from having to live with a prison that should not be in the city.
44:21To be clearer.
44:33Yes, 17 years ago.
44:36And we are going to achieve it.
44:40I said, we know that the cleaning of the city continues to generate complaints
44:45and we are increasing control over the service providers
44:50and redefining collection itineraries
44:53and incorporating anti-vandal containers
44:56and technology to intervene on critical points.
45:00I also want to call on the commitment of all the neighbors
45:04so that we meet the time to take out the garbage,
45:08to the gastronomists,
45:10so that they advance in the responsibility of having a differentiated system,
45:14to those in charge of the buildings,
45:22to the neighbors in general, to those who sweep a sidewalk,
45:25and we can all help a little
45:27so that if there is some garbage around a container,
45:30we put it inside it.
45:33I insist on a concept that I said at the beginning.
45:36What we save by reducing political spending,
45:39we invest it or we lower it in taxes.
45:42In the case of investment,
45:44in works such as the external consultations of the Pinheiro
45:47that we inaugurated this week,
45:50or the linear accelerator for oncological treatments
45:53in the hospital Marí Curí,
45:55unique in the entire public health system,
45:58to which we also add advanced equipment,
46:01such as five angiographers in the hospitals
46:03Santoyani, Rivadavia, Gutiérrez, Ramos Mejía and Argerich,
46:07two resonators, one in Ramos Mejía and another in Durán,
46:11and two tomographs for Argerich and Santoyani.
46:16We save to invest in more than 600 works in schools,
46:20300 that took place during the summer,
46:2358,000 notebooks and netbooks,
46:26tablets for the digital education of the children,
46:29or in the 7,000 cameras in the classrooms.
46:32I could go on with the listing,
46:34but it is not a list,
46:36it is concrete facts that benefit the neighbors directly.
46:47I love this city,
46:49the city that the Porteños feel their city.
46:53There are very different ways of being Porteño.
46:56That is why here we embrace the freedom of difference
47:00and we live in diversity.
47:02That is part of our identity,
47:05which we will always defend.
47:08Here we live in the march of pride
47:10and that of the child to be born,
47:12and it will continue to be so.
47:14We are inspired by this coexistence,
47:18the interreligious dialogue,
47:20an exercise of respect and tolerance
47:23that Pope Francis has as one of his initiators.
47:27In this moment so special for his health,
47:30from here we tell him that the city, his city,
47:33accompanies him and prays for him,
47:36for our dear Pope Porteño and Argentine.
47:39I am finishing and it will be shorter than last year.
47:49I committed and I think I will fulfill.
47:52I want to ask this legislature
47:56that we face this election year
47:58discussing the future, not the past.
48:01We can have and we must have
48:04different identities and flags,
48:06but there is no doubt that the Argentines
48:09have chosen a change,
48:11demanding more solutions and fewer fights.
48:14I insist, the Porteños have chosen us
48:17to give solutions,
48:19not to see who has more likes.
48:21Opposing spaces should not be confused.
48:25They were not voted to boycott the city government
48:29or to obstruct its good functioning.
48:32If they have proposals,
48:34overcoming, improving, innovative ideas
48:37and concrete solutions,
48:39we are willing to analyze them
48:41and implement them if they are viable,
48:43as, for example, the proposal
48:45that Leandro Santoro made of the psychiatric exam
48:47in a debate at the book fair
48:50and that today is already working.
48:53But I want to be clear,
48:55if their strategy is to put obstacles,
48:58they must know that nothing will divert us
49:00from the commitment made with the Porteños.
49:03Nothing.
49:04Because our responsibility is to govern and transform.
49:10Together with this management team,
49:12we will continue to advance with the conviction
49:14that governing is doing and solving.
49:18That leading is listening,
49:21learning and deciding.
49:24And that progress comes from the hand of effort,
49:27work and merit.
49:29Those are our values.
49:31That is our cultural battle.
49:34The words of Jorge Macri
49:36at the beginning of ordinary sessions
49:38of the Porteño legislature
49:40with several points to highlight.
49:42I would say that with two phrases
49:44that basically crossed the discourse.
49:46Governing is doing, governing is transforming.
49:48And there, a detail of what was done
49:50in this first year and several months of management,
49:53where, among other things,
49:55the accompaniment of the health system stands out,
49:57with a million people attended.
49:59Also to the legislature,
50:01for having approved the budget 2025,
50:03what has been achieved in terms of security
50:05and also the work that was done
50:07with people in a street situation.
50:09On the other hand, forward,
50:11he remarked and praised the national government
50:13for how he organized the economy,
50:15but he also said that the city of Buenos Aires
50:17contributes 20% of the gross domestic product.
50:21The city of Buenos Aires, this morning,
