Buenos Aires, March 16 (NA) – The former head of the Buenos Aires Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, presented this Monday his new political space called 'Metropolis', with which he seeks to contest the upcoming executive elections in the city and from there promote what he defined as a 'second transformation' for the City. Through a video on his social networks, Rodríguez Larreta stated that there is 'no possible city in two speeds, with one that advances ever faster and more modern and the other increasingly postponed'. 'I am convinced that the City has everything it needs to become a great metropolis, designed for the daily life of the people, connected, that gives you time back, safe to live in, without fear,' he said in the recorded message in front of an audience in an auditorium. And he added: 'To do this, something more is needed: the second transformation of the City of Buenos Aires, which deepens what we have already done and recovers this lost time, and that dares with audacity to go further'. In this regard, the current city legislator who left PRO said that this transformation must begin 'from the south and from there to the rest of the City'. 'Now it's the south's turn, where there is more postponement, where the adjustment hit the most. A City safe to live without fear, through prevention, with public space that can be enjoyed,' he continued. In this regard, Rodríguez Larreta said that his space has 'more than a hundred projects that can be financed with the City's budget, I say this with the experience of eight years in government'. Among these initiatives, he mentioned the southern hospital complex, since most hospitals are in that region but 'it has to be reorganized'; the 'green roof' on General Paz and the construction of 25,000 homes in the south for the middle class, since 'there is a lot of space for that, there are unused state properties'. 'All of this are small steps for the reconstruction of the City, to integrate what was separated, to elevate what was postponed,' he concluded. Currently, Rodríguez Larreta is part of the 'Trust and Development' bloc in the City Legislature, which has six legislators, accompanied by Emmanuel Ferrario, who presides over it; Guadalupe Tagliaferri, Sebastián Nagata, Graciela Ocaña and Edgardo Alifraco.
