Trip to Oslo
Javier Milei traveled to Oslo to attend the awarding of the Nobel Prize to María Corina Machado. He used the presidential plane, at enormous expense at a time complicated by the adjustments most families face every day. Was it necessary? Couldn’t you have attended this ceremony virtually? Or how Angela Merkel traveled on a commercial flight? It’s something to think about.

Correct course
Last Tuesday we woke up to the news of a reduction in the tax burden on agricultural exports. It is true that it is very small, but I think the most important thing is that it is based on a series of actions in the right direction and on the right path that will once again make us the spearhead in the recovery of our beloved Argentina. The passion and excellence in the way we produce, the constant technical updating and the highest standards that the industry achieves worldwide explain why the government has chosen us for this tax relief.

remedy
The rules of the Houses of Congress should provide that deviation from the approved formulas for swearing does not entail the nullity of the oath, but rather a reduction of 50% on the amount of the first allowance. To the Argentine Piolas, Argentine solutions. I guarantee the goodness of this medicine.

Endurance
In Mendoza, as elsewhere, megamining does not face “opposition from environmentalists.” Enough of the distinction. Megamining directly results in the social rejection of the people in Mendoza and also in and from other provinces. Because we all need water, glaciers, periglacials. You have to be rational. The low flyover of the obelisk by supersonic aircraft is celebrated, but to combat the fires in Patagonia, no consideration has been given to purchasing additional fire hydrant aircraft. Now they want to buy more submarines. Meanwhile, overfishing and bycatch in the Argentine Sea will never be solved.

Esquel Airport
While the national government announces with great fanfare the modernization of 13 airports with an investment of 500 million dollars, we in Esquel continue to wait… Our airport of Brigadier General Antonio Parodi, awarded to the same concessionaire Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, has already been under construction for eight years and does not even appear on the much-publicized priority list. Worse still, the sign announcing the modernization was removed a few days ago, as if deleting the evidence was enough to cover up non-compliance. In Esquel, modernization didn’t even reach the door. Not even the expansion of the parking lot, which was to be built on land transferred to the company in a timely manner by the municipality and whose work was pushed forward with a restart date last September, was not completed. Everything was left behind in the form of promises, assurances and a property as left by the community’s own machines that cleared it. The most paradoxical thing is that the terminal’s architectural design – which was put out to tender in 2018 – was conceived as a symbolic homage to the awning of Tehuelche, the nomadic homeland of the region’s indigenous people. A perfect irony: today passengers literally wait outside, in the rain or the wind, as if the project had taken its anthropological inspiration too seriously. Meanwhile, in Buenos Aires people are celebrating passenger records and talking about “federal connectivity”. From here this speech sounds like sarcasm. What federalism can one claim when half a billion dollars are invested in airports in other provinces while the Esquel airport, crucial for air connectivity and mountain tourism, remains frozen in time? The trust that is funding the work is the same one that should be doing so here. The items are there, the resources are there, but the political decision to complete the work seems to have been lost to some extent between the Aeroparque CABA and the mountain range. The result is visible: temporary facilities, minimal services, passengers waiting outside and a city that proves once again that the federalism of advertising is not always successful. Maybe one day the work will be reactivated. Maybe the sign will come back or the ribbon will be cut. But in the meantime, Esquel continues to be the “almost” airport: almost modernized, almost finished, almost federal. And in a country that celebrates its open skies, it seems our skies will remain closed due to demolition…forever.

The citizens of our country assumed that a government that promised to abolish “caste” would include the most qualified officials in its leadership. Today SIDE was given the management of an auditor. Art. Article 6 of the professional code of conduct of my profession prohibits me from expressing complaints or impairments to the professional suitability of a colleague. I will limit myself to clarifying that the production of strategic information to preserve national sovereignty and security is not one of our concerns.

painful reality
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for giving space to Mr. José Luis Milia’s letter in the December 7, 2025 edition. The publication of his letter made visible a painful reality: the decline of our lives as old, sick people and unjustly deprived of our freedom. I deeply appreciate that LA NACION gives voice to this perspective that seeks justice and humanity.
