Buenos Aires.-  May 29, 2024 www.zonadeazar.com  After years of back and forth regarding the recovery plans for the Necochea casino, the city mayor, Arturo Rojas, received the president of the Provincial Institute of Lottery and Casinos, Gonzalo Atanasof, to analyze his future.

“We have been raising the need in our district to be able to separate ourselves from the bidding for other complexes,” Rojas explained about the need to finally move forward with the restoration of the casino.

The municipal president received the head of the gaming regulator, who analyzes the future of the bidding for several provincial rooms.

“Since I took office I have not stopped hearing stories about the Necochea casino from the workers, they speak with feeling and this casino has something distinctive compared to all the others, because it is not only the casino but the complex that makes everything The people of Necochea push so that we can value it and move it forward,” said Atanasof.

Before his visit, Rojas thanked the Executive Branch and regretted the “uncertainty that, mainly the workers, have been suffering.”

“We have been working together (with the Government) and hopefully in the coming months we can make a turning point in a long history of mistakes that we have had in a complex so dear to the feelings of all Necochenses, which will allow us to sustain the sources labor and as a municipality to be able to look for investors and have the entire complex operating,” Cuatro Vientos quoted him as saying.

For his part, Atanasof explained that they are working on a “new bidding process (that) will seek to attract investment, with a legal framework that provides security to be able to have an end like the one this emblematic casino deserves.”

“We are finishing polishing the specifications, which will be updated to the new reality of Argentina with a phenomenal collapse of the economy,” explained the head of the Buenos Aires IPLyC.

The governor’s support for recovering the casino

In February, the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, expressed his commitment to recovering the Necochea Casino Complex. The president visited the city and held a press conference in which he referred to the building.

According to him, he said, “not only is he committed” to the restoration, but he knows “the situation” and noted: “I have spoken about it several times with Mayor Arturo Rojas. Now we change the authorities of the Lottery and Casinos Institute and we will see, because we have to find a solution and we will continue working on it.”

Kicillof spoke alongside the mayor of Necochea, Arturo Rojas, and explained that they are seeking to complete the unfinished works of the city, but he blamed the national government for the impossibility of doing so: “To (finish the works) resources are needed and it seems that there is a will to “to take away all resources from the province of Buenos Aires, to force an adjustment, when the province of Buenos Aires is the one that spends the least of all.”
