As someone living in San Roque, I think it’s a good start that we’re seeing the events in “el centro” during the weekends. However, I’d say is very superficial as it doesn’t so far translate to an overall improvement of the streets, safety, etc throughout the week.
On another point, its been peculiar to see how this government has a dual speech about outsiders. Congress has a very nationalist view, doing a lot to undermine external influences to our governance, while the executive goes on a Taylor-style around countries trying to allure foreign investment without really solving underlying problems like our judicial system. Let’s see for how long they continue with that dychotomy… I reckon Peña won’t be too nationalistic as he would like a job on an international agency/institution after his tenure.
Hey Mauricio - I definitely agree that more needs to be done for el centro. The parties at the weekend are a start, but help for small businesses and cultural spaces (and general cleanliness/tidiness/illumination) could really make a difference during the week!
And I agree that SP’s Eras Tour (😅) is really at odds with what congress are up to. It’s a balancing act that will be tricky to maintain for another four years, I think. Abrazo
