City gov't to consider veto on car parkers law

Buenos Aires City Cabinet Chief Horacio Rodríguez Larreta came on stage to announce that Macri’s administration is considering tu put a veto on a law that regulates the activity of informal car parkers that was passed last night by City Legislature.

On radio conversations, the official said that PRO lawmakers were against the project passed by the Legislature.

Rodríguez Larreta, who’s very close to the Opus Dei organization --which promotes the evangelization of all society sectors, especially through ordinary work, and teach that ordinary life is a path to sanctity-- was clear about the plans of right-wing PRO party for the matter, “Our proposal was to ban car parkers activity”, and added, “If there are people who really have social needs, there are employment and professional training plans available for them.”

Likewise, Rodríguez Larreta added that “in many cases, informal car parkers are mafia groups that threaten people or scratch their cars if they refuse to give them money. Plus they charge fees in places where parking is free. We will now discuss what should be done with this passed law.”

The passed law indicates that a “Car Parkers Register” will be created, and that every registered car parker will be given a work shift and a particular place where the will be able to work. Plus, they will be provided with a special uniform and an identifying badge.

More important, the passed law establishes that the compensation received by car parkers will always be voluntary, meaning that no fixed fees could be imposed by car parkers.
