The head of the Buenos Aires City Government, Jorge Macri, expressed optimism this Wednesday about resolving the conflict over the revenue-sharing (coparticipation) that the City of Buenos Aires has open with the national government, although he did not rule out insisting on going to the Supreme Court. "We have to achieve an agreement with the President and his team that allows us to avoid that (the Court), understanding the Government and the people, but the rights of the City must be respected," said Macri in an interview with 'Esta Mañana', the program broadcast on Radio Rivadavia. Along those lines, he continued: "We can support and accept payment methods that serve the City, but to a lesser extent and without giving up the genuine right of 3 million porteños." "The Court will always be an option, but I have to try to find a solution that is not about breaking lances. That option is always there," Jorge Macri emphasized. To conclude, he was optimistic about reaching an agreement with the team led by Minister of Economy Luis Caputo: "I still believe we can try to reach an agreement, and the will is always there. I will try not to reach a deep conflict. We talk two or three times a week."
