“The storm alert is elevated to orange in the north of Bs As, including the AMBA,” warns the National Meteorological Service on X this Friday. Again as recurring they travel in the networks and television channels, flood images in schools, houses, evacuated. There is talk of heavy rains, the amount of millimeters of water, but It is omitted to speak of the climatic crisis, and the adjustments of the national and provincial government, the lack of works and infrastructure. The working class is the one that pays the consequences of this adjustment and the absence of works because they lose their homes, their daughters and sons cannot go to school or cannot be addressed in hospitals.
The storm affected the towns of Zárate, Campana, Exaltation of the Cross and Captain Sarmiento, where there was overflow of streams that hindered traffic on routes 8 and the Pan -American Route in the section that passes through Zárate. Avellaneda, Lanús and Merlo were also punished, among other games.
This is the Viaduct of Zárate.

In Zárate There are the main multinationals in the world such as Toyota, Siderca, Mercedes Benz, Monsanto, Bayer, among others, who did not invest in the area while they knead millionaire profits. The neighbors denounced in the media that it is the first time that it was flooded thus and responsible for the company Sidercawhich built sheds without performing hydraulic works. Miserable.

In Campana There are neighborhoods, schools, routes and flooded streets and many of the neighbors are being evacuated to the shelter offered by the municipality because of this storm. The mayor is Sebastian Abella and is the Pro. For years that real estate development advances in areas close to wetlands of the Luján River without planning that allows to provide situations like these.
Javier Milei and Luis Caputo advanced with the chainsaw. In 2024, public investment collapsed 75.1% in real terms in relation to 2023, according to data from the Congress Budget Office. Meanwhile, Direct real investment (public works) collapsed 71.5% in real terms In the same period. This means that they cut resources for works and infrastructure.
The governor Axel Kicillof It presents the province as a shield in the face of Milei’s adjustment policies, but teachers respond “more than a shield, it is a strainer. Water enters every time every time it rains” after closing a hunger parity. The governor allowed the paralysis of climate adaptation works and did not question the closure of critical areas. Both in the case of Bahía Blanca and in the scrapping of accumulating, Kicillof showed its functionality to the Government of Milei, with which it shares the same fervor for the extractivist and indebted model as it was seen with the Rigi.
Meanwhile, Fernando Espinoza Mayor of the Matanza said in 2024 “we no longer flood”, but the neighbors and neighbors today are underwater.
The government prioritizes the debt and continue with the adjustment. A is necessary National Public Works Plan that is controlled by workers and neighbors and an integral emergency plan, that puts all the resources and promotes all the necessary actions to immediately assist the families affected by the storm.
