Argentina Mayors Seek Congressional Action on Transport Subsidies

Mayors from across Argentina are urging Congress to address the government's decision to remove public transportation subsidy funds, citing a breach of the fiscal pact and proposing fuel tax changes. They advocate for replacing the subsidy with a fuel tax, highlighting the disproportionate impact on interior regions compared to the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. The Union Tranviarios Automotor (UTA) warns of potential system collapse due to the subsidy cuts.
