Santa Fe Seeks Control to Restart Rosario’s Flag Monument Restoration

Unpaid national certificates have halted the overhaul, imperiling the June 20 target.

Overview

  • A cross-party group of Santa Fe lawmakers filed a resolution urging the national government to resume works and evaluate ceding jurisdiction to the province.
  • Governor Maximiliano Pullaro says he will ask Interior Minister Diego Santilli for a handover so the province can finance the remaining 28% of the project.
  • The contractor Dyscon reports the site is paused at roughly 72% completion because about 1.6 billion pesos in national payments are outstanding.
  • Dyscon’s president says work could restart within days if the transfer and payment guarantees are formalized, estimating about two and a half months to finish.
  • Unfinished areas include the Sala de las Banderas, the tower lookout and the central fountain, with missing climatization, paint and glass preventing public use.
